Fast and scalable sql based email services
Storage of mail messages in a relational database
Frontends: IMAP4, POP3, ManageSieve, LMTP
Backends: MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and SQLite
What are the advantages?
- Scalability
- Dbmail is as scalable as the database system used for storage.
- Manageability
- Dbmail can be managed by updating the relational database or directory service - without shell access.
- Speed
- Dbmail uses very efficient, database specific queries for retrieving mail information.
- Security
- Dbmail doesn't require filesystem access. It's as secure as the database and directory server used.
- Flexibility.
- Changes in a Dbmail system (adding of users, changing passwords etc.) are effective immediately. Users can be stored in the database, or managed separately in an LDAP server such as OpenLDAP or Active Directory.
