Hello all, We are currently attempting to port dbmail to work on an Microsoft SQL Server database and we are considering modifying the design slightly to allow us to store messages in a single TEXT field (which can be up to 2GB of text in MSSQL). The reason I am writing is to hear whether we would be able to convince you guys to support a compile-time flag which would enable this change in the system.
I also was curious to hear whether you thought this change would impact a lot of other portions of the code and to see what advice any of you would give to us. I am sure many of you are saying "DON'T do that!!! Why mess with the internals of dbmail" and the simple answer is that it will be significantly more efficient this way and we need to access the raw message for other operations which would be much more difficult if we needed to re-assemble the message. Thanks in advance for any help. - Drew Morris P.S. - thanks to all for the clarification on the SMTP-AUTH thing... I forgot dbmail's smtp wasn't true smtp.
