[OT maybe]Email Archiving
Hello, I'm looking for a solution for email archiving the priorities I have for it are the following: # reliability # offline backups (that'll probably be scripted) # availability # speed as the least important I guess every decent box that is out there does that, but I'm a bit unsure on the software part- I've been using cyrus in the past but I want this to be as simple as possible. This will really be archiving, so the only operation that will really be done is droping old mails there and searching for them once in a while. First i was thinking about just using cyrus and a few system users (I want as few dependencies as possible) but then again cyrus seems so bloated on the other hand googling for email archiving leads me to appliances with open end pricing which in turn suggests that there's more to it than simply providing storage that is not the main imap server and is just there to search for stuff. I guess I'm totally on the wrong track or just got confused by all the buzzwords certain searches throw at you. I'm open to any suggestion about how you do archiving (buying one of those multi thousand euro appliances is not an option) thanks martin -- http://noneisyours.marcher.name http://feeds.feedburner.com/NoneIsYours You are not free to read this message, by doing so, you have violated my licence and are required to urinate publicly.

Is this for *you*, for a SOHO, a small company, or -- since you are using cyrus -- for 10,000 college students? IMAP, I presume?
