Hi all,
a rather generic question from a newcomer to this list. Please
forgive me if i'm way off topic !
My boss asked me to do some research on an upcoming project which
will mainly revolve around a website which serves as a central
messaging point among what is best described through an analogy with
the publishing world : article authors, article reviewers and journal
editors come together on a website on which the editors will send and
receive messages to and from authors and reviewers. These messages
must be answerable by mail, but also searchable via a web front end
which includes a lot more than only messages (for instance it will
include article-status or reviewer history, etc etc)
my first job is to figure out which backend to use on the server so
that we can have a system that nicely archives all messages and can
talk via POP/IMAP, but is also smoothly integrated into a bigger
content. So here goes the question : is DBMail fit for this ? Or is
DBMail not intended as a backend for a web-frontend (what a
scentence...) ? Would DBmail be an overkill ? Or perhaps not easy
enough to integrate into a website ?
sorry if this is a silly question, but the documentation on the
website isn't really clear to me on this matter...
many thanks in advance !
Jeroen
