I've never done this, but I'd guess that you'd be better staying free of any
type of database system if you don't explicitly need some form of
transaction support, as that will probably ease your workload.

The postfix people (I use this MTA to handle low to moderate traffice LAN)
seem to suggest that even a moderate box running their code can handle 10^6
emails/day.

HTH and take care,
Daniel
