Re: [Sqlrelay-discussion] courier w/ sqlrelay

[David M. <dav...@fi...>]

I've heard of courier-auth-postfix, the pop-before-smtp solution for
postfix where pop logins are recorded in mysql.  Is this what you're
referring to?

If so, sorry, I haven't used it, but I'd bet that the
drop-in-replacement library for mysql would work with it.  Does postfix
run as a daemon, or is it called by sendmail?  If it's called by
sendmail, you could either add an LD_PRELOAD prior to launching the
sendmail daemon, or you could move postfix to postfix.bin and write a
wrapper script like:

#!/bin/sh

export LD_PRELOAD=\
/usr/local/firstworks/lib/libmysql50sqlrelay-0.39.so.1.0.0
postfix.bin $@

and name it postfix.

Either one should work.
