Double check if the DB6 license is adequate for your needs, and if it is compatible with Postfix at all. Oracle BerkeleyDB version 6, unlike its predecessor versions, uses the Affero GNU Public License (no longer the SleepyCat license), so you must open-source your components even if only used as a service, but not distributed. Check the full license text for all the details.
