Hi,

For web-cyradm there is no specific advantage of postgresql over mysql. 
But I was developing a mail and RADIUS system for our company that was very
complex and needed referential integrity checks and triggers which are only
 in PostgreSQL.

In the process I decided to experiment on web-cyradm with postgresql and
documented it. With my document you can simply use mysql by just
installing pam-mysql and editing the pam.d/imap slightly and it would
work.

If you intend to extend the web-cyradm system and make it more complex
with triggers/checks e.t.c you are better off with postgresql. Otherwise
mysql is nice fast and simple.

While I have no benchmark tests, it's all about choice in the end. :-)

Andrew.
