[new port] mail/dbmail: An SQL database-based mail system (POP3 and IMAP)

	(author description)
	The DBMAIL package replaces the normal UNIX mailing system.
	All emails and users data are stored in a database. You can
	create an unlimited number of email accounts, which can be
	checked using the POP3 or IMAP protocol. Users can maintain
	their own set of email addresses. It is more scalable, more
	secure, and faster than traditional mail systems.  DBMAIL
	uses PostgreSQL or MySQL.

+Dbmail is the name of a group of programs that enable the possiblilty of storing
+and retrieving mail messages from a database (currently MySQL or PostgreSQL).
+
+What are the advantages?
+
+    * Scalability.
+      Dbmail is as scalable as the database that is used for the mail storage.
+    * Manageability.
+      Dbmail is based upon a database. Dbmail can be managed by changing
+      settings in the database (f.e. using PHP/Perl/SQL).
+    * 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.
