No there isn't, but I was looking at the postgresql doc now and it  
should be easy to add. Its simply a matter of replacing hostname at  
connection time with the path to the dir containing the named socket.  
I'll put it on mine backburner TODO list, unless you need it now for  
the next DBMail release?
