Hey

We use dbmail (older version) for archieving eMails (1G or more per day). It's horror with dbmail I just wanna say that ! ! You will have a very huge innodb file. mysqldump will stop working when this file reaches a size of ~40 GB (if I remember correctly). Also the db schema is very innefficient for searching. A search frontend you have to develop anyway.

If I could rewrite the hole lot, I would use Maildir with daily folders and use mysql for indexing.

Best regards,
Benjamin Schmidt

you mean storing mail in mysql? If so, look at dbmail.
