TDB? BDB? :-) Ok, I found Trivial Database online, and I assume BDB
is BSD DB. I'm using RedHat, for what that's worth.

I don't know how those integrate with Exim, but I know I can use
MySQL as a lookup. Also, I am familiar with MySQL, it already runs on
our server, and I can use it with PHP and Perl, too. So that's why
I'm leaning toward it.
