Re: [OT] sql database webmail?
Sorry, but I do not quite understand. If I use imapd with SQL database support (what's a good one that does this?), don't I still need to create user accounts on the system so the smtp server can deliver to the user directory (or some other location). I'm actually looking for a web mail that does its own user account management. Does such a thing exist? IMP doesn't. * Phil Brutsche ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: On Wed, 2001-08-22 at 21:21, Eric Boo wrote: Hi all, I would like to ask, which GPL/BSD licensed web mail program out there stores info in an SQL database?

Re: [OT] sql database webmail?
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far way, someone said... Sorry, but I do not quite understand. If I use imapd with SQL database support (what's a good one that does this?), don't I still need to create user accounts on the system so the smtp server can deliver to the user directory (or some other location). Depending on the SMTP server you use querying a SQL database for user account information is trivial. I'm actually looking for a web mail that does its own user account management. Does such a thing exist? IMP doesn't. Correct. IMP uses whatever usernames and passwords are used by the IMAP server. If your IMAP and SMTP servers use a SQL database for the user accounts IMP will naturally follow. Phil
