[ this one didn't make it to the list during the blackout, I think ]

Hi all,


I'm new to dbmail as wel as the list. We run a small debian shop here in the
Netherlands. I encountered dbmail while taking over maintenance of a machine
previously maintained by IC & S, I think :-)

At first all I wanted was to migrate my client away from dbmail to a stock
uw-imapd solution, but the more I look into dbmail, the more I like it.

I've been working to roll my own debian packages based on the cvs version. No
sweat there. But there is at least one major issue that prevents me from being
able to adhere to debian-policy AFAIK.

All db connection parameters are compile-time options only which makes it
impossible to implement a single binary on a variety of configurations. 

Before I start a duplicate effort, has anyone been planning or implementing an
external configuration mechanism for connecting to the database ? Perhaps
expanding dbmail.conf to include these parameters would by feasable.

comments anyone ?
