I'd agree with this on the query-level functionality... but...

Michael, does Qmail-SQL *store* the email in the database?  (haven't
checked)

If so, there's no way I'd want new customer inquiries or other
*important* email stored in a system which didn't know how to fully
recover if the server crashes.

Imagine... 200,000 customer emails in a busy MySQL 3.23.x database, and
the UPS power cuts off.

Erk...
