Hello Aaron,

  I think the "wizards" are more like "dabblers," truth be known. :)
I can probably ask a few questions in the right direction .. as for
implimentation, I don't know that I'll have time to look at it right
now, due to other obligations.  But here goes:

  If --with-auth=ldap is specified, what exactly needs checked
and included?  Eg. check for libldap and -lldap if found?  Anything
need #define'd or #undef'd (eg. DBMAIL_USE_SAME_CONNECTION) ?

  Your second idea of ./configure --with-db=mysql --with-auth=pgsql
would require extensive changes to function names, as both the mysql
and pgsql functions are named identically, though I certainly agree
it has merit for some people's needs.

Jesse

I'd like to ask the local autoconf wizards if they might be able to help
my out to set up the necessary magic to allow a configure
such as this one:

./configure --with-db=mysql --with-auth=ldap

Another little gotcha is that the current two auth providers are named
dbtype/dbauthdbtype.c which means that the paths and names can't be rules,
they'd need to be fully specified, as the authldap module would probably
just be in the dbmail root directory (unless there were an 'auth'
directory added...) and called plain authldap.c (no 'db' prefix).

I also don't suppose we might be doing this while we're at it...

./configure --with-db=mysql --with-auth=pgsql

Since, well, it *should* work once you undef DBMAIL_USE_SAME_DB...


Thanks,
Aaron
