Hello, We will be moving our mail system over to a Qmail/Vpopmail solution very soon, and I am just trying to decide between using the default "flat" file format, or a MySQL backend. My only concern at this point is allowing our tech staff to look up a client's password, should it become necessary. Currently, the email accounts are tied in to our billing database, but this will no longer be the case. I guess my questions are:
1. Is it possible to look up an email user's password regardless of whether a the "flat file" format is used, or the MySQL backend? (i.e., is there a web-based admin tool that will allow our tech staff to do this)? 2. Would using MySQL tend to be faster or slower than using the "flat file" format? We have just over 1200 email users, and expect this to grow significantly in the next 12-18 months, so I would like to have the better of the two in place now,rather than looking at upgrading down the road. (I like the idea of using MySQL as the back end, as I think it will allow us to write a custom interface, as well as make certain things easier, like Spamassassin administration, whcih we will be implementing, no?) TIA for your input. Alan Murrell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
