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. + +WWW: http://www.dbmail.org/ |
