Great,
I'm sure Paul's opinion would be pretty much the same.
Now i just need to wait for other people here on the list to pronunce them
selfs to start working on this off this this list them.
The best i think, i'll create one list and project on sf.net.
So, anyone with time and also codes in vb.net (1.1 or 2.0, 2.0 preffered,
sinse i use vb code, i preffer not to use C#, and it'll do the same) and
wants to give a hand tell me something.

Aaron, Paul and others,
I had some ideas that i think that would increase the use of dbmail
when we talk about easy managment.
New ideas are always welcome :-)
The first one is:
Create "drivers" to manage dbmail, in this first step the goal could
be, create users, delete users, update users passwd's.
[snip]
A connector/"driver" could exist in .NET, a PHP Class, for the two
most used languages.
I would like to see a stable API exported as some kind of 'libdbmail'.
Before the 2.2 release, Paul moved libdbmail.so out of /usr/lib and
into /usr/lib/dbmail to indicate that it isn't a stable API for public
consumption yet. It's not. I hope that one day it will be stable.
Once we have a stable API, .NET and PHP and Perl and Python and whatever
other useful bindings would be great to have. I personally couldn't
maintain them, however, because my plate is full right now, but I would
be supportive of the work as much as possible.
Another thing is an outlookaddin, for ms outlook 2003 to manage sieve.
Don't know what you all think about this two ideas, but i'm sure
they'll be very helpfull.
That'd be very cool. It has nothing to do with DBMail, per se - separate
code base. It's a ManageSieve client. Check out the ManageSieve draft:
http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-martin-managesieve-07.txt
It would be interesting if the plugin had a Sieve parser, or perhaps
even a PHP array de-serializer and parser to read Avelsieve scripts.
Note that libSieve is not useful for this purpose because it doesn't
have hooks in the parser to return an abstract syntax tree of the
script, which you would need in order to generate user interface state
from an existing script.
Anybody wants to do this as a PHP Class, or help on the outlookaddin?
If you want to discuss this further, it should probably go off-list,
because it isn't within the scope of the DBMail project, even though it
would be nice to have such a tool out there.
It would be great if you could form a development group for an Outlook
plugin. I highly recommend that folks on this list who likes the idea
should get together and start hacking on it!
Aaron/Paul,
After you both pronunce about what you think about this, what do you
think in adding a menu on the dbmail website for this misc/third party
applications/addon's?
Sure, that's fine with me.
Aaron
