Re: web mail for masses - scaling archiveopteryx - active development?

[Mark Felder]

I can't comment about scaling to this size, but it should be possible. However, 
I do wonder why you want to move attachments out of the database? You do 
realize that the attachments are also deduplicated, right? Send a 1MB 
attachment to a million users on your service and it will only be stored once. 
Take it out of the database and you'll be storing it a million times....
