Absolutely right. But: what's the matter with 'POP-before-SMTP done through MySQL' and additionally using a .cdb-file for static entries? Does the patch nevertheless a MySQL-lookup, even if something is found in .cdb-file? In this case a .cdb-file in fact wouldn't make much sense, except the fact the answer from MySQL could kept short (no result) and some parsing time could be spared. -- Best regards Peter Palmreuther An authority: someone who knows lots of things you could care less about.
