I've never used DBMail on OpenBSD but I experimented with it a fair deal on FreeBSD 5.x a few months back when I was playing around with different imap implementations. While I liked the idea of using mysql backend for storing mail I found that the read/write performance was very poor when faced with larger imap folders (5000 messages). I eventually abandoned it for cyrus-imapd which handles folders 2 messages without a stutter. If high-performance is a priority for you, I'd recommend you look elsewhere. But, as always, YMMV. G

I am using it on OpenBSD. I really like it, but performance is poor. Wijnand
