I dont know to do it. but I think it is could be ok on a system with little
users. i.e. If you had email accounts that don't use a system account to
acces their email but surely you would have to rewrite half of the POPD and
the MTA?
Although.
+ Data Retrieval is a lot faster than Opening and Closing files on
accounts with a lot of emails.
+ No File Locking or DB Locking
+ Reduces Disk Access
- More Space is used up
- Complicated
- Could be security isssues on pourly planned installations
It would be a pain to administer Users. Plus QMail comes with a pukka MTA
you would increase the risk of people reading the wrong emails
Views?

I just want to hear your opinions...
How difficult would be to replace qmail-send and qmail-pop3d to
put and pull
mail to and from database (MySQL)? I don't like idea of
overwhelming file
system with milion of mails ;-) Or has anyone implemented this?
