Re: SMTP

I wrote a plpython function to have my database send email through an smtp server.
If that is of interest I can post my function

Re: SMTP

store mail , send mail, receive mail, filter mail.
I need a mail firewall for a set of bespoke applications in a secure
environment.

I will probably use postfix

What do you mean, "glue smtp to postgres"? You want to authenticate
from Pg, or store the mail in there, or send mail from the database,
or. . .?

It is possible to configure various parts of postfix (e.g. - aliases
and other such) via queries against PostgreSQL tables, so this is
something that PostgreSQL could help with.

Postfix works well with Postgresql.
For greylisting Sqlgrey works well with Postgresql.
