This will only affect, if it is really going to affect anything, who'll have
this option enabled.

I really don't thing from my experience with *SQL, that a simple insert will
affect anything, if so, the "last_login" field that exists in "dbmail_user"
table, that is updated every time a user logs in, this is affecting the
system also.

I do not agree with you guys, even that we stay with a log table with
100.000 records, is from the sys admin to take care of this data, and
prepare the server with the proper hardware to have this (disk size,
memory).

How long does it take to update the "last_login" field? 0.005 secs? How long
will take to insert a record in the log table, and in the log table for the
received messages? 0.01 secs? Even that it was 1 sec, that I don't belive
it'll take that long, even imaging that in a really stressed server, with
500 simultanious logins this'll happen.

A server with that kind of simultaneous logins will not be a P4 3.0GHZ with
HT and 1GB of RAM for sure.

You guys sorry me, but don't agree and don't belive that'll delay anything
in the mail system.

(Common opinion - my own only)
This type of logging (client's actions detailed check with any aim), i
think, is a (possible) part of system admin (company owner) policy, not of
MDA/MTA. The next step of such logging is "which SIEVE rule put this message
into this folder", ... Isn't end point on this way.
 
Some SPECIAL commercial MTA/MDA exists (Taxcom in Russia, for example),
which confirmed each (important) stage of message transmission - receive by
MTA, put into mailbox, user read, user (maybe, extern program) processing -
and sends signed confirmations to sender and/or admin after each step. If
such functionality required, common purpose MTA/MDA is unusable.
  
At first, DBMAIL was simple, fast (even on really large mailboxes),
effective and suitable MDA with a lot of SQL storage based advantages
(backup, etc...).
Now, after DBMAIL_LMTP and SIEVE implementations, it becomes more
complicated, required more resources, and its stability may be broken by
users writing its own SIEVE scripts.
 
Please, don't make "sendmail number 2" from this realy excellent product.

 
Best regards
Vladimir
Forgive my poor English, please...
