nope, we don't store the mail in the database, this is 1) in efficient 2) creates stress on the database server and 3) DOES NOT work if you are hosting 40,000 mailboxes.
IDMS DBMA is designed to be used by very large ISP's (which is where we get most of our funding from), we in turn desined this mail serice to beable to handing 40,000 clients per server (currently spec'd at 150 cyrix with 64Mb RAM)
DBMail isn't designed to allow the use of plugins, our sytem is totally plugin based.
We also will be adding very advanced features such as redirecting a mail address to a imap folder, and adding capability to login to an imap folder from pop3 which no other mail program can do. Your decision if you would like to accept this project. I can say the currect version (released to you guys) serves about 1.8 million emails a day on 5 servers, totalling a number of close to 8 million mails a day. If DBMAIL is designed for this capacity on the entry level servers this ISP uses i'll die my hair pink and wear a dress to work. ;)
Is it like dbmail ?
Is it the same purpose ? Same architecture ? check www.dbmail.org
