MY apollogies if a copy of this email is already/has already been delivered. Alex, You may want to try the patches for qpopper (if this is what you're using) to connect to a MySQL db for this sort of stuff. If you don't like qpopper, implementing these sorts of changes is generally easy and not very time-consuming for most POP daemons that come with the source. Also, a patch for smtp (sendmail+MySQL) is in the works, you may want to look at http://www.colba.net/~paul/projects/ Cheers. _____________________________________________________________.
