Dbmail is the name of a group of programs that enable the possibility of
storing and retrieving mail messages from a database (currently MySQL,
PostgreSQL or SQLite).
* Scalability.
Dbmail is as scalable as the database system that is used for the mail
storage. In theory millions of accounts can be managed using dbmail. One
could, for example, run 4 different servers with the pop3 daemon each
connecting to the same database (cluster) server.
* Manageability.
Dbmail is based upon a database. Dbmail can be managed by changing settings
in the database (f.e. using PHP/Perl/SQL), without needing shell access.
* Speed.
Dbmail uses very efficient, database specific queries for retrieving mail
information. This is much faster then parsing a filesystem.
* Security.
Dbmail has got nothing to do with the filesystem or interaction with other
programs in the Unix environment which need special permissions. Dbmail is
as secure as the database it's based upon.
* Flexibility.
Changes on a Dbmail system (adding of users, changing passwords etc.) are
effective immediately.

Remove libintl.so.9 compatibility link that was added in r374303 to
prevent massive PORTREVISION bumps. Bump dependent ports that have not
been bumped since.
Remove USE_SQLITE from bsd.databases.mk, replaced by USES=sqlite.
While there replace USE_SQLITE=x by USES=sqlite:x.

net/openldap24-*:
- Convert to USES=libtool and bump dependent ports
- Avoid USE_AUTOTOOLS
- Don't use PTHREAD_LIBS
- Use MAKE_CMD
databases/glom:
- Drop :keepla
- Add INSTALL_TARGET=install-strip
databases/libgda4* databases/libgda5*:
- Convert to USES=libtool and bump dependent ports
- USES=tar:xz
- Use INSTALL_TARGET=install-strip
- Use @sample
(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )
Bump more ports that depend on libsqlite3.so:
- ports that set USE_SQLITE with the *_USE option helper
- ports that depend on libsqlite3 indirectly as reported by pkg rquery
Approved by: portmgr (implicit)
- Convert to new LIB_DEPENDS format [1]
- USE_GMAKE=yes -> USES=gmake [1]
- Use options helpers, subs [1]
- Add DOCS to options menu, don't set plist subs for it - it's
done automatically with PORTDOCS usage
- Delete LATEST_LINK line, PKGNAMESUFFIX is set
- Finish STAGEDIR conversion: don't install conf file in stagedir this is
now done with @exec, @unexec commands in pkg-plist, install docs files
unconditionally, don't show pkg-message twice
- Fix pkg-plist directory misspellings

Pass maintainership to new volunteer.
Technically maintainership of this port should reset after the repocopy
(because maintainership of the repocopied port was resetted later). The new
maintainer give his agreement by private mail.
Approved by: maintainer timeout (mail bounce)
Feature safe: yes
