Manitou-Mail is a multi-component E-Mail application that includes:
- a desktop application for MS-Windows, Apple OS X and Linux/Unix
- a server-side program, manitou-mdx.
- a database powered by PostgreSQL.
Its architecture differs from traditional mailers in that the user interface is solely connected to the database, rather than IMAP/POP3 and SMTP servers. A server-side daemon program, manitou-mdx, is responsible for routing messages between the database and the mail subsystem, as well as filtering, indexing and custom-processing the stream of messages in background.
This is the documentation for the server-side manitou-mdx program, the manitou-mgr command line utility, and the database.
