Postfix Berkeley DB Howto
Introduction
Postfix uses databases of various kinds to store and look up
information. Postfix databases are specified as "type:name".
Berkeley DB implements the Postfix database type "hash" and
"btree". The name of a Postfix Berkeley DB database is the name
of the database file without the ".db" suffix. Berkeley DB databases
are maintained with the
postmap(1) command.
Note: Berkeley DB version 4 is not supported by Postfix versions
before 2.0.
