0.99.x is pretty broken with OpenBSD. 1.0-test66 is also pretty old, 
you should try 1.0-test74 instead.

Often those index problems fix themselves and depending on what the 
problem is they may not even be visible to user.

Disabling indexes works by appending :INDEX=MEMORY to default_mail_env, 
but I'm not sure if it's working in test66 (it does work with 0.99.x 
anyway).
