I have been doing a bit of reading, and I am a bit confused. Is there any advantage to having your postfix user info, and spamassassin inform stored in a mysql database as opposed to just using the /etc/passwd file for users, and whatever comes with spamassassin to store its data ? It just seems like a lot of extra bother to set up the mysql stuff ... and I don't see a great advantage.
My system will have postfix and spamassassin on the same box (and possibly mysql). I will be running a popper as well .. no IMAP). This will be both the MTA and MDA ... there are no mailservers below it. Thanks for the info. Peter
