Ease of setupwill lure prospective users. If an admin has to
download extra stuff and fiddle around with different things
they are less likely that they are going to use it. Putting
database inside makes it a little more easier and they can
preview it real easy. If they want to run an industrial
scale mail server they have to do the extra run around but
those who are just checking it out don't.
