I'll rephrase my original response. 'Why do it in dbmail?' I understand having it server side as in having access the database. But adding extra work to the email service/daemon/process/MTA/MDA whatever you want to call it. Just creates unnecessary overhead. When you could just talk directly to the database via another method - that was my point. My apologies if its been interpreted incorrectly.
