Hi, The MySQL (in this case, it's what I use) allows users to change or set specific options for spamd, in the usual case the report_score, mime_defang, report_body and white and black lists.
There is nothing to maintain, if the users aren't listed in the DB, then the defaults are used. This allows individual users the power to maintain their own settings or not, depending on their preferences, through what ever interface you provide them. In our case it's a php page listed off our squirrelmail web mail interface. We don't use it for anything else than spamd with mysql, no auth, no user databases, no passwords. It's just a simple tool that allows us to give the users what they want without us having to jump through hoops to allow text based configs. Works great, less filling and no grief.

The only reason these users are "virtual" is because they're not listed in /etc/passwd. They still have home directories and will eventually have a web interface to all kinds of things personal to just them. I may eventually set up some kind of ldap system, but for now, courier's authentication is more than I need to take care of. I guess my point is that these users have more than just email coming into them, and I'd like to keep all of that stuff organized into a single directory. -Chris ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
