Great, its really good to have more projects using libzdb. It can only  
make the library better. When implementing libzdb in dbmail, if you  
need any help or need any changes to libzdb do let me know.

The exceptions to the GPL is only there to make distribution and usage  
of libzdb even more permissive, while still retaining some protection  
by the GPL, so I have absolutely no problem with that, and I  
appreciate the effort. We support debian and already have another  
package, monit, distributed with debian.

Good luck with using libzdb and let me know how it goes.
