It runs, of course you need competent hardware. I'm working on index optimization for dbmail-2.2, cleaning some indices out or lightening them up. Patches to follow, should help a lot with installations of that size. > Is there a solution for user self administration of > vacation/autoreply messages?

It's php based, and you can create customers/domains/users/aliases, and each user can have the right to administer his password/vacation with start/stop dates. I was already planning to release it to GPL as a sf.net project. If others are interested too, I'll do that sooner than later. > We use LDAP for aliases, authentication and authorization.

Our tool currently directly connects to the db, so some rework would be needed. Shouldn't be a big pain. > If you would like to know more about our site and configuration, let > me know.
