Every system is different, there's no 'standard' API we can code for.

Depends on how the IMAP server does things. Cyrus, for instance, uses SASL to authenticate, and there's about a million different plugins for SASL. I have SASL using MySQL to authenticate on my domain. You can also use a password file (sasldb), LDAP, etc etc. > What do I need MySql for and how do I create the database and actually > start using it?

If you know SQL, you'll be all right in there. Look in the doc subdirectory of your Squirrelmail installation for the schema you need. (In fact, I think there's even a SQL snippet you can paste into the mysql client to create the table you need) > I am wasting away in the heat of the server room trying to figure out all > this stuff, any help would be great. Diet Coke. Don't go anywhere, especially hot server rooms, without some Diet Coke.. And if you can get away with it, use ssh to access the server from a nice, comfortable, air conditioned office ;) -- Chris Hilts [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
