Hi,
I am due to be upgrading my mail server soon. I am currently using
dbmail (old 2.2.x).
The question I am currently trying to answer is whether in the past few
years dbmail has gained the advantage of being able to use full text
search capabilities of the modern RDBMSes. Back when I deployed, it was
the most sensible choice in terms of easy backups and near real-time
replication since those features were enabled through the use of MySQL.
Today, we have stable ZFS implementations on most UNIX-like OS-es, which
facilitates easy local snapshotting without a performance impact and
easy backups using zfs-send. There are also alternatives such as lsyncd
for efficient asynchronous near real-time remote backups. All of this
makes Maildir a much more workable option than it was 8 years ago.
So the feature it all really comes down to is leveraging the DB's FTS
for really fast mail searching. I found this wiki entry from 3 years ago:
http://www.dbmail.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/bodysearch
but have been unable to find anything saying that this has been
implemented since.
If anybody could please clarify whether this feature now exist I would
really appreciate it.
TIA.
Gordan
