Database access is now fully abstracted through databases/libzdb and
dbmail itself is agnostic about which backend support is present.

And always is defined as share/examples/rc.d
which was the default before.
This rc.d scripts are not automatically added to PLISTs now also.
So add to each corresponding PLIST as required.
This was discussed on tech-pkg in late January and late April.
Todo: remove the RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR uses in MESSAGES and elsewhere
and remove the RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR itself.
Dbmail is the name of a group of programs that enable the possiblilty
of storing and retrieving mail messages from a database. Currently
MySQL and PostgreSQL can be used as database backends.
DBMail is made up of several components. A normal MTA (Postfix,
SendMail, QMail, Exim) is used for accepting messages. The MTA
hands the messages over to dbmail-smtp, using a pipe interface, or
dbmail-lmtpd, using LMTP (Local Mail Transport Protocol). These
programs take care of delivering the message into the database.
Messages can be retreived from the database using dbmail-pop3d,
using the POP3 protocol, and dbmail-imapd, using the IMAP4Rev1
protocol.
The whole email is stored in the database. That includes attachments.
The DBMail programs do not have to touch the filesystem to retreive
or insert emails. User information is also stored in the database,
so users do not need an account on the machines DBMail is running
on.
