Yes, it is possible to run Exim and dbmail. I know people who are
running it and I am only wondering why google has not indexed all
those howtos out there ;-)
I don't run dbmail because I am not excited about storing e-mails
in a database, and btw, I find dbmail too complicated for handling
multiple domains.

Here are some tips from my archives. The rest you can ask from
dbmail-users, yes?


# The obvious lines - host/database/username/pass
hide mysql_servers = localhost::3306/dbmail/username/password

router:
dbmail_aliases:
driver = accept
condition = ${lookup mysql {select alias from dbmail_aliases where alias='${quote_mysql:$local_part@$domain}'}}
transport = dbmail_transport

transport:
dbmail_transport:
driver = pipe
command = "/usr/local/sbin/dbmail-smtp -d $local_part@$domain"
return_fail_output
user = dbmail
