Does anybody here manage a mailserver? If so, have you ever used or considered using DBMail?

[http://www.dbmail.org/](http://www.dbmail.org/)

Few questions:

[LIST=1]  
[_]How well does it perform in general?  
[_]The overview boasts scalability. Can you confirm w/ real-world situations?  
[_]The docs suggest not deploying on a machine w/ less than 1gig ram. Could it run decently on a development environment with around 256mb ram?  
[_]Any horror stories I should hear?

Thanks in advance! 🙂
