At NFG we've done some design work on scaling DBMail up to millions of users, working around the clustering limitations of MySQL.
I've published a detailed design on the commercial DBMail website: http://www.dbmail.eu/scaling-dbmail-mysql.pdf/view The paper presents an in-depth treatment of several issues raised in this tread. Any feedback is welcome. :*CU# -- *** Guido A.J.
