Guess I should have made that more clear :)
I'm using a PostgreSQL DB, one of the things I wanted to play with is a
webmail client and since I have my postfix/dovecot setup against
PostgreSQL, I wanted to start off using AR against it.
So far I can query the DB ok, just wasn't sure if I was doing a right/smart
way.

Cool, hopefully someone might know, and if not, no biggie, I still can wade
forward using any hacks.
The code I'm writing is protected by IP ACL's and when finally exposed to
the inet I will be using client side SSL certs, why I'm using Apache
because I already know how to set that up.
All this because I have yet to find a webmail client that I like and
works/looks ok on my mobiles, I guess when in doubt, code it yourself.
