this should work:

deb http://debian.nfgd.net/debian/ unstable main
deb http://debian.nfgd.net/debian/ experimental main

apt-get update
apt-get install -t experimental dbmail
but this assumes you've setup a database server, configured access to
it, etc...
packages for 2.3.4 are in experimental because 2.2.x is in unstable. But
you still need unstable because the libzdb packages are there.
sweet, well that was pretty painless
(i just nanoed the sources.list file and added those 2 lines ;->)
some futzing and I have a a VM with paravirtualised disk and network
adaptors so we should be seeing pretty good performance
now I just need to migrate my (10gb or so) of mail from the 2.2.10
server to the new one.
My plan is to do that nifty trick with the copying over of the user
tables then point the port forward at the new host so we don't drop any
email.
Then I'm looking at the "best" way of moving the bulk of the email over.
I don't want to just mysqldump it over, I want it all in the single
instance storage system.
Any recommendations? The last few times I have tried imapcopy and
imapsync they seem to crash or cause dbmail to crash or something
equally silly (not to mention they are slow as a wet week). The dump to
mbox tool lost/merged or some such a few emails last time I tried it as
i recall although it was nice and fast.
