If you can access the Microsoft SQL Server from the machine hosting Dovecot, there should be no problem at all. I have used Microsoft's SQL sever for for several projects and it is an extremely fast and robust piece of software.
Perhaps you could post a clearer picture of exactly what you are attempting to accomplish.
Sorry. I should have been more specific. I want to use SQL Server for the userdb and password database. I looked through the wiki and did a number of searches but could not find an answer. If I were to use sqlite, mysql, or pgsql, these would be listed under driver = in the dovecot-sql.conf (or whatever you want to name it). How would you go about using SQL Server? There is no sql-server driver as far as I know. I have and am currently using dovecot from passwd files and from sqlite databases so I am pretty familiar with how everything works. I am just not sure how to go about this for SQL Server. Thank you.
I think you're SOL Bryan until someone adds mssql driver support to Dovecot. If you are a C veteran and know mssql at a development level, you could possibly grab the source for one of the other sql drivers and rewrite it for mssql duty. The current sql driver source files are:
driver-mysql.c driver-pgsql.c driver-sqlite.c
Source files for stable Dovecot are available here: http://www.dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.2.11.tar.gz
Good luck.
