That's because there is a massive conspiracy to keep you in the dark :)

nndb is a personal nntp server.  You put your mail into it.  The mail
is kept in a gdbm or berkeley db database, so access is about as fast
as we're going to get.  No groveling through .overview files.  No
gratuitous inode sucking.  It includes filtering rules ala procmail
(although they don't always work right), and indexed searching.  There
is the beginning of (ding) support for it.

The mail database can take a lot of disk space.

There is *no* documentation.

There is *no* guarantee of safety.
