I personaly have developed similar solutions for ISP's usingboth sendmail and DMail at different sites. Dmail appears to be the most efficient maildaemon I have used, it was also the easiest to setup, and get auth code written for. The server liscense is a bit pricey, but for DB integration it is worth it to have a user system that scales beyond a million users. gus huber <gus@pbx.org> On Thu, Feb 15, 2001 at 11:30:59AM -0600, Phillip Salzman wrote: > We are currently using a Qmail-based system that authenticates off of a > MySQL database.
