I am trying to write plugin that does DB lookup and want to use the same db connection in more than 1 plugins. Somwhere I read that we can save DB connection in qp->config(). But it is not working in my case.
Please have a look at my db/suite http://dienstleistung-kultur.de/qpsmtpd/ for a concrete implementation of a DBI connection stored in $qp->connection->notes() (MEMO to self: check this out with the TLS-problem...) On http://dienstleistung-kultur.de/qpsmtpd/db_common.shtml#inheritance you'll find a skeleton for an own plugin inheriting from db/common, which provides all the database handling stuff. Just say in /etc/qpsmtpd/plugins db/base db/your_plugin and in db/your_plugin you can easily access your database defined in /etc/qpsmtpd/db_base via the methods provided by db/common.
