Thread: Integrating Sendmail with PostgreSQL

Integrating Sendmail with PostgreSQL

From
Peter Mount
Date:
I've just seen this on FreshMeat:
http://freshmeat.net/news/2000/06/12/960784940.html

It's a patch for sendmail to use postgresql as the backend for Sendmail's
virtual users tables.

Has anyone tried this, or had any thoughts about it?

I've got to reconfigure our sendmail host here and was looking at using the
LDAP interface, but as I use postgresql a lot here, it may be an
alternative.

Comments?

I've hardly touched LDAP, which was why I got interested in a direct interface for PostgreSQL. I'm playing with LDAP at the moment, because I'm going to need to make it easier to administer our external mail shortly, so it looks like one of the two methods are possible.

How about using ldap, and getting ldap to use PG.
