dovecot - Dec 2006 - Actually what is the SQL DB used for?

Is a RDBMS required for Dovecot to run in small (SOHO) environments?  (Does it
store indexes to the mail, etc.?)  Or is it strictly leveraged for larger-scale
environments?

I'm asking, because the INSTALL says ./configure and make is enough for
most...but as my previous post requested...there isn't anywhere that lists
Required Packages/Software.  We need to get that out there before 1.0RC becomes
1.0! :)

An RDBMS is one possible way of storing user/password information.
For more information and other methods, take a look at
http://wiki.dovecot.org.
