I posted to the dbmail list last week about this.. just curious to hear a developer response.
I was wondering where things were on replacing auto incrementing message id's with a GUID [unique_id]. The response I got on the other dbmail list was that IMAP requires a sequential message id. Is this RFC or an actual requirement? I would think that this would be a major problem for scalability with any email system bound to this. We certainly don't use sequential ID's in any of our apps any more for that reason. Anyway, I have been reading through the archives and found a thread from a year ago that seems to touch on it. [Dbmail] MySQL Load Balancing & Failover http://tinyurl.com/3m6mf The advantage of course would be non-colliding message id's in a server cluster with mysql multi-master replication. I guess I'm curious how difficult it would be to patch the system for it. I haven't spent much time with the code, but couldn't the unique_id be used instead of the existing ID. Thanks, Kevin
