Hello Jason, JB> Postfix does _not_ need to be compiled for MySQL in order to use dbMail.
JB> A straight install of postfix should work fine. Technically true, but you lose some serious advantages by NOT compiling MySQL (and/or PostgreSQL) support into Postfix - primarily the ability for Postfix to vet incoming mail against the dbmail aliases table, to reject invalid destination mail BEFORE it is accepted. You'll also want SQL support for using the POP-before-SMTP feature of dbmail, if you're not wanting to go with more complex SMTP verification methods. You can always recompile it after the initial installation, however, once you're satisfied with the minimul operation. >> Hello List: >> >> I am tryinging to install Postfix so I can then install dbMail.
