Hi Sean,

I want to use dbMail (http://dbmail.org/) to store and handle
Mailaccounts in a DB.
dbMail is using libzdb (http://www.tildeslash.com/libzdb) which provides
the database-driver, but only for Oracle, PostgreSQL, sqLite and mySQL.
So I have to implement a Firebird-Driver for libzdb and it is written in C.

If you have got any ideas how to connect a mail transport agent with
Firebird in an other way, please let me know.

By the way, I am working in a team of Delphi Developers, myself I am
mostly working on the web-parts of our applications using PHP to connect
directly to Firebird.

Cheers
Christian
