yep, I've already gone to postfix, postgres and dovecot, and I'll go look at 
mailcow. tx.

Dear David,

do your self a favor and run! Do not use DBMail!
Once the idea was great, but there has been no (visible) progress for years 
now! The community is dying and Harald's reaction to your request also suggests 
that there is no interest in attracting new people to the project.

Instead, I would recommend you to use e.g. plain Postfix or take a look at 
Mailcow ( http://mailcow.email ).

Cheers,
Claas

Installing 3.2.3 on debian 9, postgres 9.6.17

WHY WHY WHY! is the documentation STILL so incomplete?  Why hasn't anyone put a 
COMPLETE minimum working example of master.cf, main.cf, sql-recipients.cf, 
sql-virtual_mailbox_domains.cf, sql-virtual_mailbox_maps.cf, and pg_hba.conf?  
I've looked and can't find anything for 3.2.3 -- oh, there's stuff out there 
that is outdated by a decade, but nothing current that I can find.

Do you have to start the imapd or other services, or do they start on their 
own? what's the difference if I use ldap vs. sql as a driver?  if I use pgsql 
as a hash to the postgres tables, does that mean I should use ldap as the hash 
instead?  chroot default changed to yes from no, does that mean the smtp line 
needs to be changed or the dbmail-lmtp line at the end of master.cf?

What's this 'compatability' line?  set at 2? What does that mean, oh, look, no 
documentation.  If I'm using old config files from version 2, should it be 
changed to something else?

Why isn't there an install script that downloads installs and configures 
postfix, postgresql and dbmail (or other combinations)?  Millions of man-hours 
to write awesome software, loads of documentation, and as nebulous and unusable 
as ever.  This is the reason people don't want to migrate away from Microsuck 
operating systems.

RE: 3.2.3/INSTALL, part 2.  ..."Edit the dbmail.conf file and set everything to 
your likings."  What? what does that mean?  Why not provide a MWE of what 
dbmail.conf should look like and explain anything that shouldn't be left 
default.

In my case, I can't insert users using dbmail-users; and you don't have any 
troubleshooting FAQs on your website or on the Install docs.  Maybe, because of 
my frustration over this, I've missed something, but I've spent 3 whole days on 
this ONE issue.  Someone (group) really needs to work on an install script.

I need to be put back on the mail server.
