Uh.  MySQL is pretty much the _de facto_ free DBMS out there.  It is
used in extremely large installations, including sites such as
Slashdot.  It is also supported by Oracle.  It has an active

One reason I can think is that I've had mailman installations brought
to their knees by high volumes of mail.  At a previous site where we
used it and mj, I never had that happen with mj.  I dunno about mj2.
