Thanks for the clarifications. I understand that DBMail cannot send Mails (am I right?). At least, can it receive mails? Suppose I will never need to send mails (of course one should need to send mails!!!), can I use DBMail for receiving mails? Or it is only a message storing application using a database for storage needs? What dbmail-smtp used for? Just receiving? I just got some basic info from http://www.dbmail.org/dbmail.phtml
