Hi,
I have been thinking about a method to simplify the dbmail solution.
Right now we support two databases, this is a religous question, I beleive we have to continue to support two databases. We also support two MTAs, sendmail and postfix. I personally run sendmail, and have no experience with postfix. But from what I have heard from my knowledgable friends, is postfix at least as good as sendmail. I beleive we could drop the sendmail support.

Suppose we did, what can we do then?
We can move the alias expansion to postfix, with mysql/postgresql alias lookup.
We can have a very simple recommended installation.
There are probably a lot more issues that also can be resolved by not reimplenting them.

There will of course be people that don't like this, but they are able to help us with the sendmail support, etc. when that time comes.
