Automx on FreeBSD with virtual mail setup

You can integrate it. It simply depends on the fields you have in the tables and what queries you want to do within automx.

Example:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
[automx]
provider = example.test
debug = yes
logfile = /var/log/automx/automx.log

domains = *

memcache = 127.0.0.1:11211
memcache_ttl = 86400
client_error_limit = 5
rate_limit_exception_networks = 127.0.0.0/8, ::1/128

[DEFAULT]
action = settings

account_type = email
account_name = Your company
account_name_short = Company

[global]
backend = sql

host = mysql://user:pass@server/databasename
query = SELECT displayname, mailaddr FROM mail WHERE mailaddr='%s';
result_attrs = displayname, mailaddr

display_name = ${displayname}

imap = yes
imap_server = mail.example.test
imap_port = 143
imap_encryption = starttls
imap_auth = plaintext
imap_auth_identity = ${mailaddr}

smtp = yes
smtp_server = mail.example.test
smtp_port = 587
smtp_encryption = starttls
smtp_auth = plaintext
smtp_auth_identity = ${mailaddr}
smtp_default = yes
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I have not tested this example, but I think it should work. Concerning Python2 or Python3: If you use automx from the Github master, it should run under each Python version beginning with 2.7 (maybe 2.6; not sure).

I have no Apache anymore, so I can not help you with this. I use uwsgi with nginx. Here is the config stuff from Gentoo-Linux:

Example for Python 3:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
UWSGI_SOCKET=127.0.0.1:9100
UWSGI_THREADS=1
UWSGI_PROGRAM=
UWSGI_XML_CONFIG=
UWSGI_PROCESSES=4
UWSGI_LOG_FILE="/var/log/automx/uwsgi.log"
UWSGI_CHROOT=
UWSGI_DIR=
UWSGI_USER=automx
UWSGI_GROUP=automx
UWSGI_EMPEROR_PATH=
UWSGI_EMPEROR_GROUP=
UWSGI_EXTRA_OPTIONS="--plugin python35 --python-path /usr/local/lib64/python3.4 --module automx_wsgi"
----------------------------------------------------------------------

And here are the settings for nginx:

Example:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
...
    # automx
    location ^~ /automx {
        include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
        types {
            text/html de en;
        }
        try_files $uri $uri/ index.html.$lang;
        index index.html.$lang;

        access_log /var/log/nginx/access_ssl-automx.log main;
        error_log /var/log/nginx/error_ssl-automx.log info;
    }

    # automx - autodiscover
    location ~ /autodiscover/autodiscover.xml {
        include        uwsgi_params;
        uwsgi_pass     127.0.0.1:9100;
    }
    # automx - iOS mobileconfig
    location = /mobileconfig {
        include        uwsgi_params;
        uwsgi_pass     127.0.0.1:9100;
    }
...
----------------------------------------------------------------------

For autodiscover you need SSL and then you can add something like this:

Example:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
...
    # automx - autodiscover
    location /autodiscover/autodiscover.xml {
        include        uwsgi_params;
        uwsgi_pass     127.0.0.1:9100;
    }
...
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hope that is a good starting point for you. Once again sorry for the delay. I am very busy...

Best regards

Christian
