Dbmail is the name of a group of programs that enable the possiblilty
|
|
|
|
of storing and retrieving mail messages from a database (currently
|
|

|
MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite).

|
Dbmail is as scalable as the database that is used for the
|
|
|
|
mail storage.

* Manageability.

|
|
|
Dbmail is based upon a database. Dbmail can be managed by
|
|
|
|
changing settings in the database (f.e. using PHP/Perl/SQL).

|
|
* Speed.

|
|
|
Dbmail uses very efficient, database specific queries for
|
|
|
|
retrieving mail information. This is much faster then parsing
|
|
|
|
a filesystem.

|
|
* Security.
|

|
|
|
Dbmail has got nothing to do with the filesystem or interaction
|
|
|
|
with other programs in the Unix environment which need special
|
|
|
|
permissions. Dbmail is as secure as the database it's based
|
|
|
|
upon.

|
|
|
* Flexibility.
|

|
|
|
Changes on a Dbmail system (adding of users, changing passwords
|
|
|
|
etc.) are effective immediately.
