Why use dbmail as storage for mails?
because i can write my own admin-backends and have a FULL SQL driven mailsystem with replication slave what can be used for postfix as fallback / load balancer how do you do your backups? i stop the slave per cron, make the backup with rsync and start the slave again having a 100% consistent copy > You don't have to backup a big database, just many small files and you can make a 100% constistent backup pf this many small files while the service is running? you can not! > so you can restore easy and capillar, how you restore one message or one > mailbox with dbmail? simply connect to the backup-machine running a second instance parallel to the replication-slave and drag whatever message whereever i like > I don't think dbmail is faster or safer than a Maildir setup ora a > Dbox (Dovecot's own high-performance mailbox format) setup. there are much more things as performance and as long i have a load-avg of 0.05 with some hundret maildomains it is fast enough and below some reasons why it beats out EVERY other solution compleltly __________________ you can never integrate a non-fully-sql-driven mailserver in your internal administration backend like we did - yes this was a lot of work two years ago, but now i have a 100% secure, self maintained admin-backend maintaining all sorts of services which you can not buy anywhere * register a dmoain with EPP (we are registrar) * create the domain with all records on 4 dns-servers * create a apache-webroot * create database + user * install a complete cms-setup (also self devleoped over years) * create the given mailusers * add the domain on the spamfirewall appliance * notify from the billing system what servcies/customer * users can be flagged aloowed for maintain the domain-accounts * users are having a real-time vacation-backend (WebUI) * users can set their vacation for different accounts with one click in summary 2 minutes and the guy on the desk in front of me starts customizing templates and help the users to configure their mail-clients you lose a customer? well, press ONE button to arcjive and remove all this stuff your internal workflow changes? nothing easier in database-driven setups! we will never depend on any software says how our internal workflow has to be done because we are with dbmail as one component in a puzzle able to design the administration of our infrastruture exactly as we need it - at any time - you only need the knowledge how each server-component works to implement this at your own
