In theory millions of accounts can be managed using dbmail. One - could, for example, run 4 different servers with the pop3 daemon each - connecting to the same database (cluster) server. -* Manageability. - Dbmail is based upon a database. Dbmail can be managed by changing settings - in the database (f.e. using PHP/Perl/SQL), without needing shell access. -* 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/ |
