Uh. MySQL is pretty much the _de facto_ free DBMS out there. It is
used in extremely large installations, including sites such as

One reason I can think is that I've had mailman installations brought
to their knees by high volumes of mail. At a previous site where we
used it and mj, I never had that happen with mj. I dunno about mj2.
