An interesting point - I wonder if by turning LOOKUP_DBM off Exim still
requires DBM? If not, then yes Exim would run stand-alone with no additional
requirements - and since your server is only to support 4 people this would
obviously be better for you.

Yes, Exim contains the lookup code for CDB files. However, you need to
create the CDB files initially and this requires the CDB package (ftp site
in the Makefile I think).
