We have such for more than a year been running a system with Imgate / mysql. basicly what we do is an admin system with webinterface where we add the domains who shall have access and which server it shall send the mail to. on the imgate serveres there is a php script run by a cron job every 15 minuttes getting the info from the mysql server writing a new map file and postmapping this. Its very simple but effectfull when you have several gateway servers and lots of mailservers on the inside. We have never ever been thinking of going back from this system. Benny ISPhuset.no
