To use Microsoft SQL with qmail, you'll need some sort of ODBC driver
manager for Unix. The one we use is Openlink (www.openlinksw.com),
which works fine for us. The main headache is getting ODBC up and
running smoothly. Once that's done, you can access the database just
like any other SQL database.
I'm not familiar with any of the SQL code in vpopmail, but it shouldn't
be too difficult to port it to ODBC, as the Openlink stuff comes with
headers and libraries. Perl DBI is also an option, I believe the
DBD/DBI driver for ODBC is based on Openlink.
