LDAP Storage for spamassassin has been on my 'todo' list for some time now. I still don't have time to get involved with the development of this, but I could devote some time with testing and feedback if it is warranted.
Very interested in seeing this come to life! --JST * Colin Dean [Wed, 18 Jun 2003] > From: Colin Dean <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: Justin Mason <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Kristian Koehntopp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [SAtalk] LDAP Storage instead of SQL Storage > > I agree with Kristian that LDAP and SQL are very different beasts.
