Your goals sound really good. But as for the plan... Are you forking because
you want a different code structure or because you want a completely
independent project that is not going to be compatible with mainline DBMail?

After 2.0, we're planning on changing the database structure to better handle
header and mime caching, as well as a few other refinements.

I'm more than sure that people here would like to see a "libdbmail.so" that
exposed the message delivery and retrieval functions, and still have those
functions be shared with the real DBMail to maintain compatibility.

Don't fork to add features that people in the mainline want, too.
