My suggestions:

Export all users:
dbmail-export *

Just typing "dbmail-export" should be equal to "dbmail-export -h"


I re-read the dbmail-users man page and dbmail-user.c, and there's code
to glob with ? and * on aliases and forwards. So what I'll do them is
make the -u argument mandatory again, then toss this great function into
the mix the same way it is used in dbmail-user.c:

   match_list = match_glob_list(userspec, user_list);

So if we match users this way, what about mailboxes? Should we try to
have filesystem semantics where Foo* matches Foo, FooBar, but not
Foo/Bar? This would be in contrast to IMAP mailbox search semantics (and
so I don't like the idea, but I'm just throwing it out there for sake of
discussion).
