Sure, that would involve installing the pl language of your choice as an
untrusted language. PHP can be installed that way as a pl, btw, then
you
can just use the mail() trigger function in it.

Yes, plPHP can be used for this. If you want an example, let me know and
I'll post one on the list.

As requested, here is a simple function that takes 4 arguments ($arg0-3)
and utilizes the php mail() function. I added the headers for an example
of how easy it is to utilize plPHP in PostrgreSQL.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION phpmail(text,text,text,text) RETURNS integer AS '
# Argument list
$email_address = $arg0;
$email_from = $arg1;
$subject = $arg2;
$body = $arg3;
#
# ..Typically, you would validate arguments here
# Build email headers
$headers = "From: $email_from\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $email_from\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: plPHP";
# Send email
if (mail($email_address, $subject, $body, $headers)) {
return 1;
}
else {
return 0;
}
' LANGUAGE 'plphp';

plphp_test=# SELECT phpmail('rrussell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
