user wise preferences from database

[Ramprasad A Padmanabhan <ra...@netcore.co.in>]

Hi,
  I want to use Spamassassin  with Postfix-Mailscanner or
Postfix-amavisd for an ISP level spam filter.

All users are virtual, and I would like to give the users full control
for setting their rulesets

For eg,
   A user must be able to set his own scores for the DRUGS_ERECTILE or
DCC_CHECKS. ( say he works in a pharmacy )  

Since there may be several thousands of users and most users would not
make custom settings ( though in theory they can ); it is not practical
to have users home directories.
Ideally I should be able to get the prefernces from a database or ldap
per user 

Is this possible ? Can someone point me some links to how this can be
done

Thanks
Ram

I'm not sure about postfix, I don't use it. Spamassassin is very 
customizable in that manor (via sql.)

http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/UsingSQL
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/WebUserInterfaces

I threw the last link in, it's got some interfaces. I don't personally 
use any of those, my users don't have the need to change settings... too 
much.
