Subject:[courier-users] mailbot for virtual users? Read message from MySQL?Actions...

I'd like to start using mailbot, but I've got a bit of a problem... I maintain my vacation messages in a MySQL database along with the login info etc.

One solution I see would be to have mailbot load the message from the database, but I am not a C programmer... I have hacked things occasionally but wouldn't call my self a C guru ;-)

One alternative I see, is to forge dumping the message from MySQL to a temp file every time a vacation message is to be sent, but that seems wasteful.

Another possibility I guess, would be to get mailbot to accept the message on another input stream and open that socket in the calling program and push the data in that way, but again that requires C skills ;-)

Any thoughts on if this might happen in some form? Or am I better off to do the temp file idea.

Thanks.
