mysql ms.conf/rulesets ?

[Michele Neylon :: Blacknight Solutions]

If you move the rulesets into SQL and get php (or whatever) to create the
files you should be fine.. Dying daemons are always painful

Sure - even better. As i said the requirement from our point of view was
simply for the UI for multi domains etc and  I realise Julian will not
be all of sudden putting all reliance of mailscanner working in the
hands of mysql and realise Julian concentrates most of his efforts on
combating spam et al.

I guess the preference is for official support - like postfix has - but
with the above, even better mod - but any will do at this stage.

thanks again
