Is there something to interface postgreSQL with QMail to store mails in pgsql instead of using mbox or maildir? Or maybe it's not a good idea to do that? I think there is some adavantages...

The storage of mails in big chunks seems less then ideal and you need clever views to get local part and host seperately. Regards Tino

Sorry it was for a customer so we can't provide source. However I know it only took us about 3 days and it has been in place for 2 years without issue. Sincerely, Joshua D.

We use QMail for our vhosting and it works quite well. We have plans to move the storage into PostgreSQL at some point.

The problem comes with IMAP _server_ support. Client libs are available too. Does your solution provide IMAP access with ordinary mail clients? Regards Tino

I seriously question the merits of interfacing qmail with PostgreSQL; qmail is "merely" an MTA, and is basically where mail would get _queued_ until it is delivered to someone's 'mailbox.' qmail isn't a 'mailbox manager,' so using PG as the data store for qmail just doesn't seem sensible. What _would_ seem sensible would be to use PG for the data store for an IMAP server. The most relevant one would seem to be Decimail: <http://decimail.org/> Decimail... * Is an IMAP / SMTP email server. * Uses a PostgreSQL database to store the messages. * Defines mailboxes using SQL queries. The way it handles mailboxes is very interesting... -- let name="cbbrowne" and tld="cbbrowne.com" in String.concat "@" [name;tld];; http://www.ntlug.org/~cbbrowne/linuxxian.html A VAX is virtually a computer, but not quite.

Indeed, looks conceptional perfect. Lets try it. Thanks for the hint! Regards Tino
