We use Postfix under various flavors of un*x for a lot of our mail, but we
set up many of our user's accounts under SIMS due to ease of
administration/security.

Postfix lets us balcklist addresses in an SQL database. We change it one
place and all hosts get the changes (because they are looked up each
time). DB replication provides hot backup for DB failure.

I would like to use this same DB with SIMS. I suppose I could do it with
some kind of rbl daemon, or I could write a cronjob PERL script that would
extract the data from the DSB and post it (via GET for some reason, at
least that seems to be how the web interface does it) to the SIMS HTTP
port.

I wondered if anyone was doing anything like this?? Does anyone know of
any limitations to posting the info via GET? If I craft my own client I
doubt there will be a length limit (like browsers have). Will SIMS
actually support POST? What about RBLs like this?

Any ideas?

Thanks,
