Well, I am surprised by the tone of those emails.
I am just asking if it exists a back-end that would replace the storage and management of the queue into mysql (i.e. put /var/spool/postfix into mysql tables). (yes, a file system is made for storing files, but it is not at all made to execute queries on teh file tree (hey, it is a tree! not a rdbms ) On Wed, 29 Dec 2010 09:29:12 +1100, James Gray wrote: >> On Tue, 28 Dec 2010 12:28:57 -0500 (EST), Wietse Venema wrote: >> >>> Joan Moreau: >>> >>>> Well, more clearly, my question is : How can I plug Mysql as a backend of postfix to handle the mailq ? >>> Please state the PROBLEM instead of the SOLUTION.

If your qmgr is choking on I/O, then throwing a DB at it wont help, in fact I can think of a number of ways this will make an I/O-challenged systems WORSE. I guess you could find some tool (or write one) that abstracts a MySQL database out to a file system, heck, I've seen all manner of weird things abstracted to file systems. At the end of the day, a file system is essentially an extremely specialised DB...for storing, accessing and manipulating files. So far the list has asked for specifics about the problem. You keep demanding a specific solution. Without knowing anything about your setup, what testing you've done, heck, even the version of Postfix you're on, how do you expect us to help you? Without being rude, have a read of http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html [1] - specifically about half way down titled: "Be precise and informative about your problem".
