Re: Sendmail+MySQL

You could replace sendmail with qmail, and there is a patch which allows you to store the messages in a mysql database. Just go to http://iain.cx/unix/qmail/mysql.php and see what's the story about :-) If you're using FreeBSD just go to /usr/ports/mail/qmail-mysql and do a make install

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,

qmail-local

qmail-local(8)						      System Manager's Manual						    qmail-local(8)

NAME

       qmail-local - deliver or forward a mail message

SYNOPSIS

       qmail-local [ -nN ] user homedir local dash ext domain sender defaultdelivery

DESCRIPTION

       qmail-local reads a mail message and delivers it to user by the procedure described in dot-qmail(5).

       The  message's  envelope  recipient  is local@domain.  qmail-local records local@domain in a new Delivered-To header field.  If exactly the
       same Delivered-To: local@domain already appears in the header, qmail-local bounces the message, to prevent mail forwarding loops.

       The message's envelope sender is sender.  qmail-local records sender in a new Return-Path header field.

       homedir is the user's home directory.  It must be an absolute directory name.

       dash and ext identify the .qmaildashext file used by qmail-local; see dot-qmail(5).  Normally dash is either empty or a lone hyphen.  If it
       is  empty,  qmail-local	treats	a nonexistent .qmailext the same way as an empty .qmailext: namely, following the delivery instructions in
       defaultdelivery.

       The standard input for qmail-local must be a seekable file, so that qmail-local can read it more than once.

OPTIONS

       -n     Instead of reading and delivering the message, print a description of the delivery instructions.

       -N     (Default.) Read and deliver the message.

EXIT CODES

       0 if the delivery is completely successful; nonzero if any delivery instruction failed.	Exit code 111 indicates temporary failure.
