Hello,

I'm using a Postfix based MTA with virtual domain support. I have all my user info (location for maildir, quota, etc) in several MySQL tables. I've configured some parts of the Courier subsystem (imapd and popd) to use MySQL data through AuthMySQL. Now I want to replace postfix virtual delivery agent with maildrop. I modified transport table at postfix to use maildrop as LDA for my virtual domains. Postfix invokes: "maildrop -d reci@mydomain.com". The problem now is that maildrop doesn't know how to seek all info related to that "user" (its virtual home or maildir location, quota, etc). I think it should be configured in a similar way as I did with popd and imapd. My first question is: how could I configure "maildrop" to use MySQL databases? I'm using Debian 3.0, with the following maildrop package: mta-mad:/etc/courier# apt-cache show courier-maildrop Package: courier-maildrop Priority: optional Section: mail Installed-Size: 460 Maintainer: Stefan Hornburg (Racke) <rac@linuxia.de> Architecture: i386 Source: courier Version: 0.37.3-2.3 Replaces: maildrop Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.4-4), libgdbmg1, libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 (>= 1:2.95.4-0.010810), exim | mail-transport-agentConflicts: maildrop Filename: pool/main/c/courier/courier-maildrop_0.37.3-2.3_i386.deb Size: 174782 MD5sum: d05f4122f8037caa69b361a48aa7f6a9 Description: Mail delivery agent with filtering abilities maildrop is a replacement for your local mail delivery agent. maildrop reads a mail message from standard input, then delivers the message to your mailbox. maildrop knows how to deliver mail to mbox-style mailboxes and maildirs. . maildrop will optionally read instructions from a file, which describes how to filter incoming mail. Instructions can be provided having mail delivered to alternate mailboxes, or forwarded somewhere else. maildrop uses a structured filtering language.

I'm not seeing something like "Mysql support enabled". Is this necessary? Am I missing some point? Thanks in advance. -Roman
