Using this feature you can maintain the list's membership list in an ODBC compliant database. The ODBC screen of the Mailing List editor is used to select a data source, table, and field mappings for MDaemon to link to the list. When messages arrive for your list one or more SQL queries will be performed automatically and the resulting email addresses will be treated as part of the list's membership.
You can add, remove, and modify members of your list in the database using whatever ODBC compliant database application you choose.
