Give the OP a break, it seems he is trying to put together an
integrated tool set, rather than general-purpose components. In
an integrated tool set one sometimes sacrifices flexibility in the
name of inter-component integration.
The database abstraction may come along later, or the tool set may
essentially be an application-specific extension of the required
embedded database.
Vertical products (say like Zimbra) built around Postfix are a good
thing IMHO, we need both general purpose components for DIY
administrators and integrated products for users who want a complete
system.
