If  you have flat ascii config files and create a separate program to 
convert the file into a DBM I can't see the problem.  It's exactly 
like sendmail aliases and the newalias program.  You can also have 
majordomo stat the ascii config file and if it senses that it's been 
modified it will automagically update the dbm file.
