PostgreSQL handles that well enough that it is simply no longer
a factor. At least not for relatively slow changing stuff
like mailer settings.

A weapons system is another animal entirely.

By the same yardstick, *any* SQL DB is overkill for MTA config,
unless you are doing dynamic greylisting or IP firewalling with it.
