configure --with-mysql

You can create your MySQL table like this ....

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS sometable;
CREATE TABLE sometable (
  username varchar(32) NOT NULL default '',
  uid int(11) NOT NULL default '3002',
  gid int(11) NOT NULL default '805',
  password varchar(13) NOT NULL default 'XXXXXXXXXXXX',
  homedir varchar(128) NOT NULL default '/dev/null',
  shell varchar(50) NOT NULL default '/bin/false',
  comment varchar(128) NOT NULL default '',
  PRIMARY KEY  (username)
) TYPE=MyISAM;

You should use the same uid on all the users, likewise, you should add a uid to
your system to match the one described. Basically this allows you to support
email without users actually on the system.  I wrote a mailer for sendmail that
looks up users and puts the mail in the right dir, there are other things you
can do based on your setup.

When you run akpop3d, you need to enable MySQL support with the parameter
-M, and you need to set MySQL host, user, password, database and table
with the parameters -H, -U -P, -D and -T.

I originally added a patch like this to gnu-pop3d and then to gnu mailutilities.
