Oh :-)
since that's had been around for a while (before I even got here), then
I didn't think _I_ would be the one tasked with documenting it. but if
that's what it takes to get the mysql configuration patch in the CVS,
then I'll do it (but it'll take some time - I have urgents tasks at work
that need taking care of first).
Generally - we need mySQL to have persistant storage for DLR data (how
about the bearbox queues ? don't those need a mySQL back-end to ? I
think they do to - it's somewhere on my TODO list). the reason to use
mySQL instead of a storage file, as it allows you much greater
integration freedom - for example : many kannels running on the same
storage (what we want to do here), so if one machine breaks - another
can automaticly start handling the messages and no DLR will be lost (as
long as the database server is up, which is also pretty easy to do with
linux HA). Another usage is to setup many load balancing kannel gateways
on different machines that use the same backend for persistant storage,
so DLRs comming on a different connection then the one the message was
sent on will still be delivered properly.
