[approved] Need some advice

[Sieru Efrem]

Hi Guys,   I am a programmer who is currently researching Mhonarc for a project I am volunteering.   The project is to find a mail archiving utility with the ability to search for mails by text, date, etc. The people I am volunteering for have a lot mailing lists and they need a way to archive and save some of the messages they recieve for future reference.   Here is the current system they have:   Linux (SuSE), Apache, PHP, MySQL, LDAP, etc., and their mail service is qmail. They also use qmail-ldap so that their email is integrated with their LDAP directory (they have a global directory).   What I need from you guys is information if Monharc can do the job? Does it have the capacity to search for texts as well or is it just a converter? Is there any other software I should look at that can do the job better? What do you think is the best solution for this project? I am thinking of integrating a mail archiving system with an open source database, but if there is an all-in-one system already, please let me know.   I would be very greateful for your professional responses.   Thanks,   Sieru.
