just another question:

you wrote "... everybody still using dbmail ..."

what do you mean by 'still'? have you switched to another mail server 
like dovecot, cyrus, ...
perhaps not satisfied with dbmail?

i'm just asking because dbmail is not used by that many system admins. 
and i'm also sometimes worried about the future of dbmail :(
i'm actually quite happy with dbmail and have been for the last couple 
of years.

but i'm always looking for other peoples insights ;) what's your thought 
on the current status of dbmail and its future?

thanks for your time & greetings
