Do not be "afraid" for more general goal: sendmail plugins [dynamic libraries] There are two obvious "well fit" (well defined) functionalists: a) map interface b) mailbox databases interface Taking a look at some "exotic" maps sendmail.org "refused" to include in the code (e.g. mysql) it should be more cost effective way on long run to "push" support for plugins first (IMHO). P.S. Do *you* need plugins support on more than *one* platform? ;-) -- [pl>en: Andrew] Andrzej Adam Filip : [email protected] "Look! There!
