A unix or linux computer would make a great platform for the Archiveopteryx email archive application. I have never personal used this application, but I'm thinking about giving it a try.
Archiveopteryx is an Open Source solution to archiving email using . Archiveopteryx application is written in C++ , and uses a PostgreSQL database server. The application has been tested usning Linux and FreeBSD: #-------------------------- Excerpt from Installation link: We test the build on Linux and FreeBSD, so you may encounter some errors if you compile elsewhere. We make few demands of the platform, so any errors are likely to be minor, and we'd be happy to help you resolve them. (Given enough demand, we'd be happy to add other platforms to our test ensemble.) #------------------------------- Below is a link to Installing: http://www.archiveopteryx.org/installation.html Below is a link about how to use Sendmail; although, Postfix, Exim, and Qmail are also supported. http://www.archiveopteryx.org/sendmail.html Below is a link how to configure the Archiveopteryx configuration file: http://www.archiveopteryx.org/man/archiveopteryx.conf.5.html Regards, LelandJ James E Harvey wrote: > There are too many issues associated with email archiving as far as > compliance and security for me to try to do something on my own with VFP. > > I'm looking for a canned product where someone else has figured out all the > regulatory storage requirements required by legislation and litigation. > > I think most of these use MS SQL server for the data, probably because of > security, and size... > > It may take a few more years but it looks to me like the storage, retrieval, > and backup of emails is going to become a major part of many smaller type > companies like ours. > > > James E Harvey > Hanover Shoe Farms, Inc. > M.I.S./Corresponding Officer > Off: 717-637-8931 > fax: 717-637-6766 > email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf > Of Jeff Johnson > Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2007 10:59 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [NF] Email Archive Solutions > > Ed: PostgreSQL would be good because I am starting to work with it and > it would help with the learning process.
