What are you doing about mail? At one time, I had Postfix and Cyrus 1.5.something working against a MySQL database, but the creation of Cyrus mailboxes was not automatic (severe PITA). I haven't seen any other reasonable POP3/IMAP combo that can auth through a database at all, so I'm kinda stuck. -Troy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
