Hello,

  We're working on a multi-server setup with a single
database server, and multiple postfix/dbmail servers
connecting to it.  It seems the current (database-stored)
configuration setup (ie. config table) does not handle this,
as most of the settings may/will be server-specific.  The
most prominant example would be POP3D_BIND_IP and IMAPD_BIND_IP,
which if not '*' will be different on every machine, but most
all the variables really should be server-specific.

  I'm pretty sure I can get around this by setting up nearly
identical machines (including user/group names, etc.), and
bind to '*', so it's not a "showstopper" problem, but is
there a way to handle this currently, or is this something
that needs addressed?  If the latter, a few thoughts on the
design - there does need to be one central config source for
the entire system, that each dbmail server will consult (ie.
in the database), and then a way to have server-specific
values.  One way would be to have server-specific values
saved in a local config file (eg. dbmail.conf) - alternately
could add a field to the config table to specify which server
the config setting applies to (global if empty, otherwise it
matches the server's hostname or ip addr).

  Or, did I just miss something in how I have this setup?

Thanks,
Jesse
