I have sometimes wondered about storing (large? say > n mbytes)
attachments as files outside the DB.
If you use a multi-mailserver system (using a common SQL server) then
these files would then have to be accessible via nfs. It's easier in my
circumstance to have the one location for all the data. With mysql it's
easy to have failover, and with the LVS project it's easy to have
multiple mailservers in a round-robin loop with redundancy.
With NFS you then have locking issues etc.

Josh.
