Ours are in a PostgreSQL DB. Others will do as well.

You can store the content, or just a path to a flat file, then also just a
'toggle' to re-use a standard message <whenever>.

If you want to, you can even set/unset/modify these with e-mail messages, no web
required. Exim does INSERT and UPDATE as easily as SELECT.

Loads of tools to GUI'fy/ webalize those w/o granting access to the mailserver
itself. If you web-ify, check the security history on whatever language/toolset
you choose, DB or otherwise, and keep checking it, e.g. with chron'ed
'portaudit' or such. Most have been compromised, some quite often (PHP?)
