It's still kind of silly to have to create a MySQL database connection every
time somebody authenticates or tries to POP mail just to do POP-before-SMTP.
As djb has noted, a Unix filesystem is already a very heavily optimized
database -- and that's why you can use it to keep track of this kind of state
at a much lower cost.
