I wish you a nice vacation and thanks for answering my mail even on
vacation time. :)

But that means, that I still have only one datasource. I'd like to query
multiple datasources depending on the domain. Some domains have their
info in a sql database, others are in a xml file, some are static.

I thought I could define a filter on a datasource per domain. Like
[domain.tld]
follow = generic_mail_settings_1
username = `grep $mailaddr data.csv|awk '{print $1}'`

> Maybe something like this. You can combine this with DEFAULT. So put all common setting into DEFAULT. Define a "global" section with you SQL queries and use "follow" with dynamic-var to switch to special backends. Let me know if that worked for you.
For me a backend is the datasource that holds the username, mailaddr
mapping. The settings (hostname, ports, etc.) can be "followed".

Thanks in advance.
