Hello list,
Is it possible to use an object storage system (like aws's S3) to
store
message files? if this can be implemented we may have a more
persistent
storage for email. AFAIK aws's S3 has three replicas for each file in
their system by default.
S3 really isn't intended to be used that way. I'm not sure how you'd
make that work and it would probably be a bad idea.
Agreed.
As far as Postfix specifically is concerned (i.e. the queues) S3 would
be a performance disaster.
It might be useful for a delivered message store (i.e. for an IMAP
server) but I expect you'd need to design a new storage model (although
Maildir+ *might* suffice) and consciously work around S3's
idiosyncrasies.
