Is storing stuff in database "better" than keeping it on disc?

[Ivan Jouikov <iv...@ablogic.net>]

I'm wondering about different repositories, such as
error/spam/relay-denied/inboxes/outgoing.
 
Is there a performance gain or some sort of an improvement if I keep
that stuff in DB rather than on a disk?

Perfomance falls, but you now have a db to administer for managing
storage requirements,  resiliance and all those other "real world"
things that matter.
You also have SQL to allow you to create reports and move mail around.
You can also have other applications use your James db
