I am curious about this statement here. Care to provide more details? I
used to do and am still doing a lots of it in QMail that is changing for
postfix now and was actually going to add MySQL backend for that to make
my life easier to manage multiple domains and obviously multiple users.
I am curious at the replay as it may look like you have something more
efficient? I was actually looking to just possibly use the postmap with
hash may be, or may be the built db tools. Wasn't sure however if that
would be best then MySQL. Obviously much smaller setup. Simpler is
always better anyway. So, I would appreciate just a bit more suggestion,
or details on your statement, so that may be something better I haven't
thought of yet might be best. I am sure not oppose to use MySQL however.
As for any web tools, I could care less. CLI is plenty good for me and
anyone else here. SSH access does wonders... (:>
what excatly are you curious about? :)
if you have relativelly few users the postfix hashes should do the
trick, there is one annoyance tho, after every edit you have to run
postmap (easily solvable by wrapper scripts). i tend to use mysql,
maybe it is because i'm used to it.
if you have trully big setups you might wanna look at ldap, from what
i've heard/read it should perform well under heavy read intensive
operations.
