Actually, when you consider dbmail is replacing the need for system users, some sort of GECOS information should be there for those who are in the custom of using it. All that would really be required from your end would be a single text column called gecos added to the user table. The format of GECOS (GCOS) fields vary from system to system, the only agreement seems to be that it's a comma seperated list, and the name is the first element in that list. Thus it probably wouldn't be worthwhile devoting another table to it If others then want to come up with dbmail specific versions of finger and suchlike, then at least the schema is there. With regard to tracking the relationship between users, it is a good solution to the problem of sending over-quota mails to over-quota users. Like you I'm not convinced as to whether it belongs in dbmail itself, but if it did, the cleanest solution would be a single 'class' field in the user table. However, I'm divided over whether it should be there by default, when dbmail itself doesn't use it. I guess it's the same debate about caching the message headers to make life easier for web clients. -fr. > Ilja > > > Jacques Beaudoin wrote: > > > Hi all > > > > Some time i wish i could have some fields in dbmail > > where i could input users specific data like > > - is supervisor or secretary email address > > - location > > - etc > > > > I run a script 3 time a week to analyse my users mail quotas > > so if there over quota i send them a "over quota email". > > > > I'm sending a "over quota email" to a user thats not reading is email !!!!! > > > > So also sending the "over quota email" to is supervisor mite be a option. > > > > My question is ? > > > > Could a "user description table" with 4 or 5 fields > > be useful in a future release of dbmail. > > > > Bien à vous > > > > Jacques Beaudoin > > Agent d'administration > > Les services des technologies > > de l'information et des communications > > Commission scolaire de la Pointe de l'Île > > Montréal, Québec, Canada > > > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Dbmail mailing list > > [email protected] > > https://mailman.fastxs.nl/mailman/listinfo/dbmail > _______________________________________________ > Dbmail mailing list > [email protected] > https://mailman.fastxs.nl/mailman/listinfo/dbmail > > -- Feargal Reilly, Codeshifter, Chrysalink Systems.
