Sorry to disappoint you but this is not currently possible, nor planned. I see the following reasons: - outbound+internal mail is often just a small fraction of all mail (5% + 3.5% at our site), so it is not worth the savings. If you can affort to process and log inbound mail, you can afford to process and log all of it. - pen pals feature depends on information on outbound mail. In fact, apart from SQL quarantine, the pen pals feature is the reason for existance of SQL logging. - SQL logging database needs periodic purging anyway. You can trim log entries of outgoing mail to much shorter keeping periods. This just means that an additional 8.5 percent of records needs to be purged (besides all inbound mail entries). > In fact, I'd prefer > not having any sql activity for outbound (black/white lists, etc... > nothing is needed.) > > So, I've tried setting up a policy bank, but have discovered that > 'lookup_sql_dsn' and 'storage_sql_dsn' are not 'dynamic_confvars'. > It does make sense, but it doesn't help! Right. The same child process handles mail regardless of its direction, so it keeps one session to a sql server open at any time. You could in principle save 8.5 percent (in our case) of SQL lookups (and keep 'local_domains' in a static lookup table only). Is it worth it? > So, how to do it?

Please see if it works, and if it doesn't I'd consider it a bug and fix it. Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
