Hi Sven,

These questions are probably more for the dbmail general mailing list, but
it's no problem, we can help you here on dbmail-dev :-)

So Postfix or Exim or similar MTA receives the message, decides if it should
be delivered locally (by checking the domain and/or username) and then sends
the message to DBMail. Then DBMail puts the message into the database.

No, it won't be given to DBMail for outgoing mail. More likely is that KMail
will save a copy to Sent-Messages (or something like that) using IMAP, which
DBMail provides by using the dbmail-imapd daemon.

Yes, just like any regular mail via SMTP.

I'm not sure if this is possible, but it is pretty easy to use dbmail-smtp to
directly insert messages into the database.
