Yep.

I had a look at this a while back but never got in to it very far. http://iain.cx/qmail/mysql/ Patch to qmail which allows database based virtualusers, rcpthosts and locals should be just what you're looking for rather than having to generate the text files. I've got a half working system on a development box, so if there's anything I can do to help let me know. > Pat. Simon
