phew, that's a big site! ;) > In other setups the configuration may be different, and an LDAP > AWL or even bayes store may be worthwile.

That would be nice ;) One idea we've been thinking of for 2.70 or 3.0, was to use DBI for specifying database locations; in other words, just this. DBI uses URI-style strings to specify formats, access methods, etc. along with the db names; if there's a DBI/DBD module to access LDAP, that would be best. And it looks like there is: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/CodeDoc/DBD-LDAP/DBD/LDAP.html http://turnerville.virtualave.net/DBDLdap.htm Then in the config files, it's a matter of using a DBD specifier instead of a filename to indicate that such a database should be accessed via LDAP, or MySQL, or whatever. But I'm not sure *writable* dbs like Bayes or AWL would ever be useful in LDAP; afaik, LDAP is very much read-frequently, write-seldom. BTW this bugzilla entry is relevant; it's the use of SQL for bayes/awl/etc. http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195 --j. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: INetU Attention Web Developers & Consultants: Become An INetU Hosting Partner.
