I have completed my sql lookup type, which is EASILY extendable to any
external query-based protocol. I need to finish commenting the source
and testing, but will be releasing it for review by the Exim community
sometime in the next week. Chris Harris (chrish@???) is
writing a PostgresSQL plug-in for it, my base version uses MySQL, but
the code allows for "plug-in" query modules that could be adapted to ANY
query system, even ones not sql-based.
I think that this could solve alot of these varied requests for lookup
types.
