This is from a (long) thread on another list. I'm wondering if y'all care about this "opinion".

Or I guess I can give you one difference: Dovecot tries very hard to be secure. DBMail then seems to keep adding SQL injection security holes. I said about this to them a few years ago and they fixed them, but now that I looked at the code a few months ago they had added more of those. ---------- End Forwarded Message ----------
