At the risk of being blacklisted on this rather "robust" forum, when I've needed a DB backend for mail I've invariably ended up with a product designed for that purpose. The idea of piping or scripting may seem desirable at first, but as mail volume increases the overhead becomes unmanageable (I've attempted this approach with sendmail/exim/postfix/qmail and none performed adequately under heavy mail load whilst trying to pump into a DB). Whilst this isn't necessarily prescriptive of anyone else's situation, it is most certainly descriptive of my experience. It's quite possible that what you want and what I've attempted in the past are quite different :) Maybe look at DBmail - http://www.dbmail.org/ ? Asbestos suit on. James
