The patch

Attached patch to add support for systemd units scripts in dbmail installation.
I don't know if I should add any other dependency for systemd use flag.
Tested on my system and seems to work.
I think the same modifications could be made on dbmail-3.2.2.ebuild

Note on the patch:

I suspect systemd IUSE is not needed and --enable-systemd should always be passed to install the service files.
Comment 2 Chris Mayo 2016-07-21 18:50:27 UTC
I think there is a bit more work to do:
- DBMail's dbmail.tmpfiles is for nobody/nobody but Gentoo uses dbmail/dbmail
- For PostgreSQL DBMail units have postgresql.service but Gentoo only has postgresql-${PN}.service
See bug #575930

Also some discussion about not using Type=forking here:

Comment 4 Chris Mayo 2016-12-11 20:35:07 UTC
Hopefully --enable-systemd should be optional in future to build with sd_notify:

Almost two years has passed from this report and dbmail ebuild still lacks systemd support.
