Hi Ryan,
You have a damn good memory :)
Currently our lage customers (>20k accounts) are running on mysql with
innodb. Postgresql is more mature, but the cleanup management (vacuum)
and some other very tipical issues regarding the actual storage of the
tables. Though we managed to tune postgresql to perform OK it still
wasn't really 'up to the task'. Since we're using mysql with innodb we
haven't had any problem at all.
Best regards,
Eelco

Hello,
What is the preferred dbase platform to use for dbmail: MySQL or
PostgreSQL
or something else?
Thanks,

Only MySQL and PostgreSQL are supported in dbmail for the mailstore,
both are supported for authentication as well as LDAP. Originally
IC&S's official deployments were PostgreSQL, and that's what they
recommended.
Then they came into some sort of performance problem that caused a
serious problem at one of their sites, so they switched to MySQL with
InnoDB as the table handler. I haven't heard recently if that is still
their position or not, I do believe the PostgreSQL issue was resolved
though.
There are people using both, so use whichever of the two you are most
comfortable with.
