Skiplist doesn't have fast lookups? I admit to not knowing the intricacies of the various formats, but i thought skiplist and Berkeley were at least comparable, as the opinion i've seen has been that skiplist is better, especially when encountering corruption with berkeley. Also, that is not an option, since i wish not to get woken up every other night because mail isn't being delivered due to this problem.
Skiplist is good for things requiring enumeration. Berkeleydb has much faster random lookups.
I'd suggest finding out what's causing your berkeleydb corruption. You might just need to upgrade the version of BDB libs in your system. I run BDB based deliver.db, etc, on several large mail clusters (1million+/day each delivered) and have no corruption issues whatsoever.
