We're a hosting and development shop that uses SQL Server heavily, but have never seen a need to use it for IMail. So, we run via registry and have seen no advantage to switching. We use the Ipswitch command line tools and registry scripts to automate various processes. The only impact to recovery would be the need to install the database server and recover the database as part of the recovery process. That would be compared to simply recovering the mail server from backup, or moving to new hardware, recovering mailboxes from backup, and applying the most recent registry backup to restore domains, accounts, aliases, and lists.

I'll be building a new server small corporate mail server with less than 500 users and a few lists. I'll allow POP and web access. Is it an advantage to go SQL or would the iMail default be fine. I've been running on default for over 10 years without issues. If we did go SQL I'd prefer Oracle, but would consider MS SQL Server or mySQL (if it's an option). Also, would SQL hamper or improve recovery? Any suggestions? Thx, D.
