Hi I am looking for some general advice and guidance for selecting software=20 components to fulfill a proof of concept test. I need a mail application with =A0features requiring that incoming mails, w= hich=20 should comply with a predetermined format, be initially examined for=20 compliance with that format.=20 Each sender (read user) has to be uniquely identified in the database syste= m=20 and a log kept of every mail received. Sender verification requirements are high and, among other things, the outp= ut=20 from attachment processing must provide an input to the verification system. =A0 Mails that pass verification requirements are to be initially processed by = the=20 receiving server and the results of verification transferred to a mysql =A0 database. Subsequently data =A0has to be extracted from the email, processed and the= =20 results stored in a mysql database. Processing includes the use of scripts = to=20 generate email responses and other functions. Attachments =A0have to be extracted and passed for processing and =A0result= s=20 stored =A0in a mysql db. Mails that do not comply with the verification requirements need to be pass= ed=20 to another server for logging and processing. The system has to be scaleable. I realise I have not given a lot of detailed information but here is the ru= b I=20 need to build, as quickly as possible, a proof of concept, using readily=20 available software components. =A0 The OS is freebsd (currently 6.1) running postfix.=20 What components would you choose for this exercise? Be able to build quickl= y=20 and easily is the priority for this stage and low server demand would not = be=20 some important at this time. Thanks in advance for any input you can give David
