User storage in different databases depending on context?

[Erik Beijnoff <er...@addsystems.com>]

After reading the documentation it seems as if the answer to this
question is no, but I'd better check to be sure.
 
Is it possible to store users and mail into different databases,
depending on some sort of context information. 
Either somebody@group1.server.com <ma...@group1.server.com>
and somebody@group2.server.com <ma...@group2.server.com>  OR
somebody.group1@server.com <ma...@server.com>  and
somebody.group2@server.com <ma...@server.com>  ?
 
I suppose that with a correct naming scheme of the users, as in example
two above, I can achieve the same thing by separating users into
different context, but still store all users in the same database. But
all the better if a separation can be done directly by James.
 
As a sidenote I'd like to thank those involved for a great database
integration of James. Absolutely perfect to have the user accounts and
mail easily accessible directly in the database. It suits my purposes
perfectly.

Thank you. I have as of now decided to go for a central database
approach which means that all mail will be delivered to a master
database which will be polled by separate contexts (other databases) for
mail. The contexts will register their users on the form
"username.context@server.com" in the central mail management database.
I'm quite convinced that this approach will work fine.

And also thank you for a great extensible mail server.

Technically, yes.  Practically, no.  We should be able to faciliate that
better in a future release.
