Is there any support for using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or 2008 as the SQL database for users? Although I would prefer to do it other ways, the company I work for has all of their virtual hosting authentication tied into a SQL Server. Any ideas? Thank you. Bryan

Thank you.If you can access the Microsoft SQL Server from the machine hosting Dovecot, there should be no problem at all. I have used Microsoft's SQL sever for for several projects and it is an extremely fast and robust piece of software. Perhaps you could post a clearer picture of exactly what you are attempting to accomplish. -- Jerry Dovecot.user at seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.

You can use the old sybase driver on unix to access MSSQL. You'll likely need to patch dovecot to support it beyond that. ~Max On May 21, 2010, at 6:26 AM, Bryan Vyhmeister wrote:> Is there any support for using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or 2008 as > the SQL database for users?
