Hum, i do not agree with you Josh,
Even that the database grow's, people always can delete records from the
last month for example, it doesn't has to stay all data on it.

But isn't this information already available in the mail log?

The other problem I see, is that the structure of the information in 
these log tables is going to have a lot of people voicing their opinions 
of what fields need to be included. To satisfy everyone's needs it is 
going to have so much data that our mail database could end up having a 
large percentage of it for statistics.

I agree being able to make a simple select on a database can give you 
information you need, but at what expense in cpu/disk time and storage 
space? This needs to be carefully considered by the developers.

Regards,
Josh.
