Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to UW IMAP + Qmail + postgres?

I was thinking about Qmail-Vmailmgr-CourierIMAP-SquirrelMail... but have not set it up yet. You can see a how-to on doing all of it at:  http://mricon.com/SM/guide/

I know this is missing the DB part of your pie, but maybe someone else will have some insight on that part. There are some resources off of http://www.qmail.org/. I did see these, which is at least linking qmail and postgresql:
 

• Mail2DB -- Store incoming mail in a PostgreSQL database. Mail2DB is suitable for putting in a .qmail/.forward file and will archive e-mail to a SQL database. Currently, there is only the storage component. This was written because somone on a LUG list expressed interest in such a system, but he only knew PHP (which isn't an ideal language for calling from a .qmail file 😉. Hopefully a user interface will be forthcoming.

• Tong has a PostgreSQL checkpassword.

• Jesse Sweetland has added Postgres support to his checkpassword and qmail-getpw replacements. He calls the package sql-xpw. These differ from Takeshi's code because his is a patch to qmail and this code is not.

• Michael Devogelaere has done some work on letting qmail work with postgresql: it's comparable to the mysql patches, only for postgresql.
