Default USE flags
Why is PostgreSQL recommended? In most mail I have seen there is no SQL involved whatsoever. —a3li 20:07, 23 November 2011 (UTC)


 * The useflag? Well in this basic postfix setup, you don't really need any database backend, this much is true. I actually wrote/relocated this page as a sub-page from http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Complete_Virtual_Mail_Server (which will link to the postfix installation).
 * The reason for a database backend? Be it ldap, postgres, mysql etc? Easy, to have mailboxes independant of local 'passwd' users. I do think I stated that it was recommended, if wanting to do more with postfix then just a simple local only mailserver. The flag won't hurt btw, but yes, if only a local postfix install for a few users is required, on a single domain, then strip this flag.
