I think it would make the pre-7.1 versions of PostgreSQL choke as they either
only have timestamp (without the additional 'with/without time zone' or use
some other strange format. I'm thinking that this may be a problem that's been
around for awhile and just wasn't noticed since PostgreSQL seems to give dates
different from what date_sql2imap is looking for. I'm no PostgreSQL expert
though so if someone knows otherwise concerning older PG versions, then by all
means speak up.
I don't see a big problem dropping support for pre-7.1. 7.0.x is very
old. Anyone who is actually interested in running dbmail would want a
newer postgresql. Also, the number of users still on postgresql that
old is very small, see this little survey from the postgresql website:
http://www.postgresql.org/survey.php?View=1&SurveyID=14
I'm not exactly sure what date that survey was taken, but based on the
7.4 DEV that is listed I would assume it is at least before 7.4 was
released which was back in November.
