Hi Tom,

I see you're back exploring alternatives :->

As you're probably aware, bogofilter presently supports BerkeleyDB and
SQLite3.  In the past qdbm was also supported. All this is (was)
possible because bogofilter's architecture has a database layer that
uses an api to communicates with database specific modules. If you (or
someone else) cares to implement RDBMS support, then it will happen.
