Hi! I've been googling for courier working together with dbmail, but
found no useful information.
Does anybody have any comments about this combo?
There is no combo. Courier is a mail server that stores mail in
maildirs. DBMail is a mail server that stores mail in an SQL database.
This "combo" makes as much sense as combo of an automobile and a
motorcycle.
Oh! Right, that's probably why the dbmail site states this:
DBMail is made up of several components. A normal MTA (Postfix, SendMail, QMail,
Exim) is used for
accepting messages. The MTA hands the messages over to dbmail-smtp, using a pipe
interface, or
dbmail-lmtpd, using LMTP (Local Mail Transport Protocol). These programs take
care of delivering the
message into the database. Messages can be retreived from the database using
dbmail-pop3d, using the
POP3 protocol, and dbmail-imapd, using the IMAP4Rev1 protocol.
The whole email is stored in the database. That includes attachments. The DBMail
programs do not
have to touch the filesystem to retreive or insert emails. User information is
also stored in the
database, so users do not need an account on the machines DBMail is running on.
[ref: http://www.dbmail.org/index.php?page=overview = How does it work
paragraph]
I had the impression Courier is also "A normal MTA". (Actually, I had the
impression it was better
than normal, but, well, my opinion is just mine).
