I will look into those, the boss wants me to do this on the cheap, the sql idea was first so we could at least say we were archiving the email.

Subject: Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Determining a BCC Recipient
Rick,
I am looking at creating our own email archiving solution using sql
This, as Matt notes, could be monstrous. It certainly is not best-practice to store this many CLOBs (or BLOBs, if you're decoding MIME) in a generic DB. That's why the only RDBMS message stores worth their salt are Exchange, Notes (sort of), and the archiving vendors' back ends, as they are purpose-built on both client and server ends.
If you do go the RDBMS route, you should definitely consider auto-splitting by date into separate tables and/or separate databases to enable scaling out. However, I'd suggest instead that you use a well-known format such as MBOX and an MBOX-aware, high-capacity indexing/search product like dtSearch. We've used dtSearch Web as a message archive-and-search mechanism and have been very happy with the speed (though, admittedly, the display needs a lot of tweaks).
