Ease of backup and experimenting as I don&#39;t want to have a large /home. I&#39;d prefer to have a large DB in /usr, than interact with the filesystem. Most of the mails will be attachments of homework children have done which will be word files or spreadsheets etc. so I figured I can easily dump the DB and create monthy backups faster with phpmyadmin than copy the actual maildir directory.<br>

The implementation is for a fairly small institution of mostly high school students and staff, so about 300~400 accounts. I will be working on a deb based system [ read ubuntu ].<br><br>And yes, I would like to store the e-mails in a mysql database instead of a home directory (maildir format).<br>


<br>I&#39;ve already started on it, will get back to you soon.</blockquote></span><div><br>If I may ask, what requirement are you trying to fulfill by storing the mails in the DB?<br><br></div></div><br>-- <br>Best regards,<br>
