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