Oops-- I just found the auth_pgsql stuff. It is in the man page but not in
the README.
Still looking at how to build a mailbox driver for messages in the database.
THis could be interesting.
Finally 1 more question:
If I am authenticating using PostgreSQL and retrieving my messages from the
database, I shouldn't need any special privaleges. Is there any
documentation regarding running this via chroot and or under a more
restricted UID? I am thinking that the process changes its UID and/or GID
after forking, so this may not be possible.
Best Wishes,
Chris Travers
