a - Sqlite support For userdb/passdb? Why is it useful?
SQLite gives you much of the functionality of mysql/postgres support
right now without the one big caveat -- its a library (not a daemon),
so email doesn't go down if mysql/postgres does
1/2 of the people using dovecot will never run into this as an issue,
as they're likely just using mysql/postgres for development/support use.
but if you're running a webapp that ties into a mysql/postgres server
that is also hosting the imap/mta accounts , then you can run into
serious issues if your webapp gets slammed with traffic
you also run into problems if you need to upgrade your sql server, or
anything odd/bad happens to it
essentially, i want the flexibility of sql without having to worry
about 2 daemons .
