I looked at some patches, but I couldn't find enough description. I want to know ; * Can we use PostgreSQL to store user data and do authentication? * Can we use PostgreSQL to store all e-mails (Inboxes & Sent Items) I want to use this data to create reports about e-mails e.g. : Customer Contacts Reports I'm using freebsd4.4&sendmail What do you suggest ?

I don't know why you want to store everything into a database, but it is IMHO not a good idea. If you still want to do it, have a look at : http://www.dbmail.org/ It should work with postgresql. -- Mathieu Arnold

As I mentioned earlier, you can use Exim (www.exim.org) to do this. It has a built in PostgreSQL connector, and you can use it's super-ultra-mega-configurable configuration file to do almost anything you want. For example, I use Exim to retrieve "virtual" user information (users without /etc/password info) and then feed it into "maildir" compatible formats for retrieval by IMAP server software. >* Can we use PostgreSQL to store all e-mails (Inboxes & Sent Items) You can do whatever you want, but chances are you will have to write your own "local delivery" software if you want to do this - although someone else had a suggestion.
