Are you talking about final delivery to a MySQL, or /var/qmail/queue
in MySQL. (Or why are you talking about qmail-send.) If the latter,
forget it.
If the former, try your luck (seznam.cz is doing that I think). I still
can't see how a generic-purpose SQL would handle million of user
entries better than a specific-purpose database (filesystem). If you
are concerned about millions of directories/files, you can put
together something much smarter than SQL for messages... (Hell,
a simple POP3 session would have to lock the database for quite a
long time - does it scale?)
