Hi,

I think it is a nice feature to include MySQL in
Mailscanner.

What do you think about to get the /opt/MailScanner/etc/rules files
from a database?
For example postfix can get its mappings, like access, virtual maps and
so on from a MySQL database and has a little cache.

For MailScanner you can create a little cache so that MailScanner
does not need to look into the database for each mail.

The advantage is that it is more flexible und you can create a
gui, web application or whatever to fill the MySQL database.
And you don't need to restart MailScanner for every rule change.

What do you think about it, is it possible?
Does someone else need it?

Best regards,
Holger
