The SMTP server will most likely be Postfix. I could have the SMTP server queue all outgoing mail, however that would be a huge learning curve as we have about 4000 teachers each with their own students. The goal (if possible) is to use MySQL as the authentication engine for SquirrelMail. Within the database structure have an extra field that would associate the student account with a teacher. When a student attempts to send an outgoing message the system would instead of delivering via SMTP would move the message to a folder in the teacher's mailbox (maybe using IMAP). The teacher would then sign into SquirrelMail and be able to review the students messages and then send them out. My thoughts were to save the message draft (when the student hits Send) into the Teachers mailbox. The teacher should be able to open the outgoing message (in draft form) which would have the student's From: information. When the teacher approves the message and hits Send, it would be delivered as normal (with the student's information as the reply-to). Any messages send back to the student would be delivered directly to the student. The secondary goal (after moderation) is automation. I really don't want to field phone calls from 4000+ teacher regarding message delivery/moderation. My hopes were that someone may have already done something along these lines. However it is looking more like I will get my hands into the code and fashion the routines accordingly or in a brighter side determine how to write a module that accomplishes this feat. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Oracle 10g Get certified on the hottest thing ever to hit the market...
