OK,
I think I understand what you are aiming for.
But how do I configure my mail clients.
Usually you have your sendmail "SMARTHOST" that routes all the mail.
Then you have the sendmail "NULLCLIENT" Configuration on all the mail
clients, that route all the mail to the SMARTHOST for further delivery
to the internet.
The NULLCLIENT is also capable of forward incoming mail to the smarthost.
You will always get mail delivered even though it by mistake is sent to
one of the clients.
What will the DBMAIL SMTP receptor do with mail that are not destined to
the host?
Is it possible to give some error message at the RCPT TO: command?

Hi all,
I was thinking about building a dedicated smtp server for dbmail. This
will not be a full smtp server implementation (no relaying and stuff
like that) but pureley an smtp reception daemon. This has the following
advantages:
• much higher mail reception throughput
• direct bounces if needed
• direct checks against aliases table
• no depedencies of other smtp's
It will coexist next to an LMTP implementation. They both will service
different needs.
We've tested a very very very minimal version of an smtp server. It was
able to process about 70 mailmessages per second. That about 10 times as
many as the current situation can handle.
Furthermore, Roel and i were brainstorming about speeding up the imap
server. Our goal is to make it 5 - 10 times faster as it is now. Also we
want to implement shared folders. For both changes we'll need to make
changes to the database layout. We have some plans about this that we'll
reveal soon.
Best regards,
Eelco
