thanks for your thoughts. yes, let's hope dbmail will get more love, 
which it surely deserves ;)

i'm actually quite happy with dbmail so far. not many user complaints 
and things work as expected.
(except the IMAP SSL/TLS on port 993 ... but actually the POP3 on port 
995 works without any errors. is that strange?)
but i'm only running a small mail server with about 100 mail boxes and 2 
GB storage in the database

and the mail users are also no experts, just 'normal people', not in 
need of any special setup

if i could program some C, C+ i would love to support dbmal, but i'm 
'only' a web developer administrating my own linux server ;)

thanks & greetings
