Possible, yes. Desirable is another question. The downside can see seen as this: maildir: corrupt a file, lose one message mbox: corrupt a file, lose all of one user's mail (manual reconstruction is possible). mysql: corrupt a file...lose *all* mail. I've never tried to reconstruct a corrupted database, so I don't know if it's possible. You can probably find more about using a mysql backend with postfix in the postfix-user list archives. -- Marshal Newrock, unemployed Linux user in Lansing, MI Caution: Product will be hot after heating -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
