Thanks for the link.  I took a quick look at it, but it seems as though this
allows you only to store user information there.  The data store for the
email itself is still in the standard file system (in the /usr/local/virtual
directory).  I'm actually looking for a solution that will allow me to put
the data store for the email in the DB as well and not just in the file
system.  Any suggestions?

Thanks!
