Are you really sure about this?

There are a number of different locking methods in data bases that are not fully 
transactional - table locks - row locks etc that would probably meet your needs. 
A full blown transactional set up is mostly used for financial use where both 
account tables need an entry or not - (much like a journaled file system). 
InnoDB is used if you are doing real accounting transactions in mysql -- you can 
use Bdb storage, but it isn't used much (may be based on the old Bdb - but it 
doesn't look like the new Bdb is a clean design with all these huge log files). 
I can't see why you couldn't get by with table or row locks - do you really need 
rollback (the reason for the log files)?

Just so everyone knows what this is - transactions mean that several steps are 
taken or not taken all enclosed within the "transaction" (thus the need to roll 
back). Sometimes people confuse simple row or table locks with full blown 
transactions. I assume everyone is running on a journaled file system these days 
(jfs seem to be the best bet with 2.6 kernel according to recent kernel bugs).

Everyone likes what they are used to - and Bdb is thus common - but there are 
other choices out there that may be better for bogofilter. There is some 
information on this in  <a 
href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0596003064/transtronicsinc"> High
Performance MySQL by Jeremy D. Zawodny, Derek J. Balling</a>. He talks about the 
good and bad of several storage engines.
