I don't know in practice. I think you'll find some people running
big, exclusively web mail servers on the www.HKSI.net list for the
HKSI web mail templates.

try it and see

yes, "port mapping".

no, domains are only stored in the registry.

I can remember having seen anyone talking about Interbase for Imail
on this list.
>Is iMail interbase d/b efficient?
yes, apparently so, since they have Imail systems with 100k+ user
accounts in the registry.

maybe, but it would be tricky doing locking to avoid conflicts with
Imail's accesses.

Has someone done anything like a fileserver backend
>with a few iMail servers fronting it?
This doesn't work with Imail. Imail's domain and users are local to
each Imail machine, and several Imail machines cannot share a common backend.
