Hi,

I have a mail server with the postfix/Squirrelmail/Dovecot combination
which I have user data on MySQL as virtual users. I have configured SM so
that users can now change their own password.

Is there any opensource solution to provide "self service password
management" which would allow me to add the "I forgot my password. Lets
reset it" feature ?

For authentication, using some random personal data or personal
question/answer combination would be enough I guess.

Any idea ?

Postfix is a mail server; it does not have passwords, nor any ability to
change the ones it doesn't have.
Perhaps Squirrelmail can do what you want, but the passwords you're
talking about are not related to postfix.

not that I know of. You can use your imagination to combine multiple
pieces. but there's no ready to use "this is it" as fas as I know. not
that it's hard to develop, but different people manage their users in
different ways. so these people need custom solutions...
