3.2.1 Plain text databases

This is the simplest database possible. It is kept in a plain text file. Each line in this file represents a single record, empty lines and lines beginning with ‘#’ (comments) sign are ignored. Records consist of fields, each field being a sequence of characters. Fields are separated by colons (‘:’, ASCII 58). If ‘:’ character occurs in a field, it is preceeded by a single backslash character (‘\\’, ASCII 92). A record must contain at least two fields.

1. SMTP ‘AUTHID’.
2. SMTP password.
3. Account name.
4. Path to user configuration file.

URL syntax

The URL syntax for this type of databases is quite simple:

text:path

where path specifies absolute file name of the database file.
