Hello,

I'm trying to create a simple reporting tool that counts certain types of email. My goal is to have an email sent to a postfix server, have postfix dump the email into a mysql table, and I will have a ruby script take the info out of mysql and create a report.

The problem is that I have no idea how to set up postfix to work with mysql. I have looked for documentation in hundreds of places and it all goes over my head. If someone can please help me set up postfix to put emails into a mysql database I will be forever great full. I will also try to pass my knowledge to others who would have this pain.

Thank you

btw. I am using ubuntu 9.04 and although I have medium knowledge in linux it is still pretty low.
