Postfix SQLite Howto

+ +
+ +

Introduction

+ +

The Postfix sqlite map type allows you to hook up Postfix to a +SQLite database. This implementation allows for multiple sqlite +databases: you can use one for a virtual(5) table, one for an +access(5) table, and one for an aliases(5) table if you want.

+ +

Building Postfix with SQLite support

+ +

The Postfix SQLite client utilizes the sqlite3 library, +which can be obtained from:

+ +
+

http://www.sqlite.org/

+
+ +

In order to build Postfix with sqlite map support, you will +need to add to CCARGS the flags -DHAS_SQLITE and -I with the directory +containing the sqlite header files, and you will need to add to +AUXLIBS the directory and name of the sqlite3 library, plus the +name of the standard POSIX thread library (pthread). For example: +

+ +
+
+make -f Makefile.init makefiles \
+     'CCARGS=-DHAS_SQLITE -I/usr/local/include' \
+     'AUXLIBS_SQLITE=-L/usr/local/lib -lsqlite3 -lpthread'
+
+
+ +

Postfix versions before 3.0 use AUXLIBS instead of AUXLIBS_SQLITE. +With Postfix 3.0 and later, the old AUXLIBS variable still supports +building a statically-loaded SQLite database client, but only the new +AUXLIBS_SQLITE variable supports building a dynamically-loaded or +statically-loaded SQLite database client.

+ +
+ +

Failure to use the AUXLIBS_SQLITE variable will defeat the purpose +of dynamic database client loading. Every Postfix executable file +will have SQLITE database library dependencies. And that was exactly +what dynamic database client loading was meant to avoid.

+ +
+ +

Then, just run 'make'.

+ +

Using SQLite tables

+ +

Once Postfix is built with sqlite support, you can specify a +map type in main.cf like this:

+ +
+
+alias_maps = sqlite:/etc/postfix/sqlite-aliases.cf
+
+
+ +

The file /etc/postfix/sqlite-aliases.cf specifies lots of +information telling Postfix how to reference the sqlite database. +For a complete description, see the sqlite_table(5) manual page.

+ +

Example: local aliases

+ +
+#
+# sqlite config file for local(8) aliases(5) lookups
+#
+
+# Path to database 
+dbpath = /some/path/to/sqlite_database
+
+# See sqlite_table(5) for details.
+query = SELECT forw_addr FROM mxaliases WHERE alias='%s' AND status='paid'
+
+ +

Additional notes

+ +

The SQLite configuration interface setup allows for multiple +sqlite databases: you can use one for a virtual table, one for an +access table, and one for an aliases table if you want.

+ +

Credits

+ +

SQLite support was added with Postfix version 2.8.
