* This is the modus mailing list * Hi Guys,
I noticed that there have been a few questions about the extended db format on the list the past couple of days. I hope this clears up a few questions for you: 1) Modus' core architecture (minus the scanning functions) is still the same as VOPMail's, so it still supports the same database structures as before: a generic 4-field table, the extended table, Rodopi, Plat, Ecobuilder, etc., and now we've added Logisense to the list. Basically, we'll support just about any structure so long as it's ODBC based. 2) If you have a version of ModusMail that includes any of the scanning options, you can continue to use a generic database or whatever billing package you have now. If your particular billing db does not have any scanning controls built-in (for spam / virus / attachments), these functions should be configured in the Modus console. 3) If you do wish to use the Extended db format, we've made a few changes and added some new fields to support the new functions coming up in version 3. As before, we'll be placing copies of updated SQL scripts and the Access db on our site so that the new structure can be loaded automatically. As I write this, the updated scripts have not yet been placed on our website, but that will be done this week. We'll post any update information to the list regarding when the new scripts will be available for download and where to find them on our site. 4) The Extended db structure is hard-coded, so the same rules apply as before: the table name must be "vopmail," the columns must be created in a specific order, and the structure should be put in place first before upgrading Modus. More detailed information is included in the existing how-to on our site, but keep in mind that the current links to the SQL & Access scripts haven't been updated yet, so they still point to the old ones.

A previous post alerted me that ModusMail only supports the extended database format - is this true? If so, have they made it a little more flexible, or are the columnn names still hardcoded? I'm discussing getting my email authentication integrated into my billing application, so this is definitely a significant question before I turn them loose on the integration project. -- Justin Ellison <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ** To unsubscribe, send an Email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "UNSUBSCRIBE" in the body or subject line.
