    from what i have seen/heard in the past: stay away from BDB - regarding
    dspam its really unreliable! dont know much about dspam`s quite new
    sqlite support, the postgresql support seems to have improved
    too...anyway, mysql is for sure the best choice if you wanna stay out of
    trouble.
