well, yes,,...hm...
but...
we, at least, use amanagement tool for dbmail (self-cooked), that cannot
modify the file system directly, but is bound to do database changes. this
option is kinda sestroyed with your solution...
Not if you use the same database for the postfix aliases, domains, & virtuals.
i think this would be more in the spirit of dbmail as a database-driven
and -controlled system, wouldn't it?
See above; any Postfix table can be fetched from a database; we already
have tools for maintaining them via the web (I guess we cam at the problem
from the Postfix end, whereas you came from the DBMail end).
I don't know what the dbmail people are planning, but I think it would be
best to leave the Postfixes of the world to be full-blown mail systems, and
concentrate on being an excellent local mail delivery system. Just my
0.02c, but there's a lot of work already done in Postfix to handle truly
bizarre mail configurations.
