There is discussion of this in the archives if you can find it. I
find it frustrating that the email archives for this project are not

email storage system.
we're working on this. The mailing-lists are actually not stored in
DBMail and we still have some issues with the htdig-patches for
mailman.
What are you planning to use? It would be nice to have it be searched
right
from a dbmail database using an FTI engine. I know postgresql has
one, and
I think mysql does.
Well, like I said: the list-messages are currently not stored in DBMail.
The lists are completely (well, almost) handled by Mailman.
We are using patches for mailman to incorporate the htdig
search-facility in the archives.
(see
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.011.htp)
I guess we could use a database, but Mailman does the job quite well
and I don't really feel
like writing a new web-interface to replace something that already
works fine (ehr.....or at least will be working fine, once we've fixed
it :-) )
