Though I would be confident that with custom code, you could *eventually* get saslauthd and/or pam to talk to a SQL Server DB using IMail's DDL, I don't know of anyone doing that now. So I'm a bit more conservative about the gap between theoretical interoperability and a stable implementation. MySQL would likely work after a shorter fashion, and LDAP is definitely doable already. > (it'd probably be more secure than IMail anyway :) I don't quite get this. If you're pushing the DB in the clear, even if you expect the gateway to hash it after it's processed (using saslpasswd or similar), anyone who compromises the box would be able to intercept the plain-text upload. Or are you suggesting hashing the passwords with the gateway's algorithm before uploading them? This is reasonable, but hey, you can encrypt passwords with IMail, too, if you want. -Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
