mysql ms.conf/rulesets ?

[Michele Neylon :: Blacknight Solutions]

It is possible to move a lot of the config into a DB, but it would depend on
what you wanted to do.
We're currently developing a system in PHP that uses a DB backend to store
all the whitelist and blacklist rules, as well as some other user
preferences. The thing you should bear in mind is that if you move very far
away from the existing MS config you will run into problems when a
significant upgrade is released.

Subject: [MAILSCANNER] mysql ms.conf/rulesets ?

I have searched the archive and can find only limited info.

Will it ever be possible, standard, to be able to use mysql to store the
entire config of a mailscanner system ? The only reason i ask is that a
developer colleague wants to write a "portal" type system in php so that
one can control mailscanners scanning features with regards to per
user/domain settings for mutli domain rulesets etc on a single ms
machine. He advises that this will mucho easier if the config existed in
mysql, like postfix does.

Has this type of support ever been considered for ms ? I guess it has
been proposed as a feature request before now, and either knowcked back
or pushed back?

Appreciate any info.

Thanks
Pete
