Sendmail+MySQL

First off, the new site looks damn good..I use to post and it's changed for the better... On to my question... I've already searched these forums and MySQL + Sendmail's site for my answer, and came up with nothing..

My task at hand is I need to be able to STORE messages in a MySQL Database with use with Sendmail.. When a message comes in, I want sendmail to do a few checks before it saves the message..
1) Check the "userlist" table to determine whether the user is a local account, or a virtual account...
2) If so, proceed and parse the message like normal but store it in a "messages" type of table.. where it will store everything...
That's all I want to be able to do... and I know this is probably a major task.. I've found a few sites that have "patches", but have come up with nothing.. I'm NO EXPERT AT ALL, i'm just seeing if I can get some minor direction as to how to handle this.. there's no rush, so if it's advisable to read like a "sendmail" or "how-to" on how to hack the sendmail source, I will definitely do so..

I'm using Sendmail 8.9.3 with nothing special .. no procmail scripts or any qpopper...

Thanks in advance,

msql2mysql

MSQL2MYSQL(1)						       MySQL Database System						     MSQL2MYSQL(1)

NAME

       msql2mysql - convert mSQL programs for use with MySQL

SYNOPSIS

       msql2mysqlC-source-file ...

DESCRIPTION

       Initially, the MySQL C API was developed to be very similar to that for the mSQL database system. Because of this, mSQL programs often can
       be converted relatively easily for use with MySQL by changing the names of the C API functions.

       The msql2mysql utility performs the conversion of mSQL C API function calls to their MySQL equivalents.	msql2mysql converts the input file
       in place, so make a copy of the original before converting it. For example, use msql2mysql like this:

	   shell> cp client-prog.c client-prog.c.orig
	   shell> msql2mysql client-prog.c
	   client-prog.c converted

       Then examine client-prog.c and make any post-conversion revisions that may be necessary.

       msql2mysql uses the replace utility to make the function name substitutions. See replace(1).
