I think this question has been asked, but I have not yet found an answer to the problem.
I'm running MySQL 5.0.22 on Gentoo Linux AMD 64. Its blazingly fast, mostly. I'm running a package called dbmail on it. http://www.dbmail.org. All mail is stored in the database. After running a dbmail-util which deleted somewhere around 9,000 messages, I ran mysqloptimize against the database. After running mysqloptimize the innodb file (ibdata1) was larger than it was before i started. is this normal? If not, how do I change the behavior? I'm happy to forward any relevant data that you need.
