 This is working successfully for all our 5 departments and over 500-1000
 mails a day. Except for big attachments where we have respective
 limitations  (to some extent configurable - maxpacketsize options etc)
 in PHP as well as MYSQL.

We have used procmail and PHP combination to achieve this for our
department mail management and associated workflow.

Sendmail invokes procmail which delivers the mail to the normal inbox
and invokes a PHP script thru LYNX

The PHP script opens an IMAP connection to the inbox, reads the mail and
puts in a text data col in the database.

This is working successfully for all our 5 departments and over 500-1000
mails a day. Except for big attachments where we have respective
limitations  (to some extent configurable - maxpacketsize options etc)
in PHP as well as MYSQL.
