Hello Janos.

Finally  I've found following conversation, where the most part is
explained:

https://bitbucket.org/jsuto/piler/issue/195/how-can-i-backup-piler-where-is-
the-body

 

But still, some of the questions I don't know answer yet to.

 

Best regards,

Michal Mistina

Subject: What components of mailpiler are used for?

 

Hello Janos.

I couldn't find anywhere the whole explanation how mailpiler works. Could
you please explain it?

I understand following (if I am wrong please correct me):

-          mailpiler service (piler) listens on port 25 and receives
communication from mail servers

-          the e-mail is stored encrypted in /var/piler/store

-          the e-mail is reindexed by sphinx search engine

-          the web gui is presented for user by web server (e.g. apache,
nginx.)

 

I don't understand what it is database engine (mysql/mariadb) used for. How
are the emails encrypted? By piler service or by database engine? Is the
piler.key used for the encryption? Where is the index stored?

 

Michal
