Context
thank you for the great work, this project is quite helpful. i use it with great success. we're now looking into OIDC. one big gap we see here is that mappings from incoming mails to mailboxes (aliases) and from authenticated users (from OIDC) to mailboxes still require actions on the command line in one way or another. it would be great to be able to replace these with SQL lookups.
Description
I would love to see an option to do alias- and user lookups against an SQL database. this would open the doors for better integration, especially an option to create a management UI.
Alternatives
alternatives are rare - the only real option is scripting the "setup.sh"
Applicable Users
anyone who wants to have some more freedom in dynamically deciding which authenticated user receives which emails.
Are you going to implement it?
No, and I understand that it is highly likely no one will implement it. Furthermore, I understand that this issue will likely become stale and will be closed.
What are you going to contribute?
i would gladly work on a web UI and backend to manage the database tables and their contents. ages ago, i have done something similar, but i had support from the dovecot / postfix configuration side, so while i gained some knowledge about that part, it was more than a decade ago and i only understood enough to provide the necessary data structures and UI.
