I think we'd be better served by coming up with, for example, a "qpsmtpd way" of doing this sort of thing. For example: for basic RCPT TO functionality, have a basic RCPT time plugin that can handle aliasing, allowable domain relays, lists of valid addresses, tagged addresses etc. Base the plugin around being able to read a "qpsmtpd format" file specifying all that stuff. Then, have a series of different front-ends for that plugin that can translate configuration files from other mail platforms into whatever idiom the RCPT TO plugin understands. You can even make the "front-ends" plugins of a sort to the hook_rcpt plugin. Including being able to slip out of the config file paradigm into, say, custom LDAP/DBMS interfacing for parts of it. I think much is to be gained by putting all this MTA functionality (how you actually _apply_ an alias, handle tagged addresses, etc etc etc) into _one_ plugin, rather than having to replicate ALL of it into different plugins written by different people with different skill/bug levels that in the end only differ as to config file format.Thread Previous | Thread Next
