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).
What are the advantages?
* Scalability.
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.

(author description)
The DBMAIL package replaces the normal UNIX mailing system.
All emails and users data are stored in a database. You can
create an unlimited number of email accounts, which can be
checked using the POP3 or IMAP protocol. Users can maintain
their own set of email addresses. It is more scalable, more
secure, and faster than traditional mail systems. DBMAIL
uses PostgreSQL or MySQL.
