I am setting up a new mail system next month. It will
require redundancy and failover.

Our current systems run Postfix+Cyrus+Amavis+MySQL/Auth.

Cryus is a complete pain in the rear to setup with account
failover. DBMail seems like a great solution. By just
setting up MySQL replication between a few machines I get
all the failover I need. Seems really simple.

So, my question is:
- Is DBMail ready for production, 3-6000 users?

Some people I know use it with 50000 users. I hope that answers your question.

- How does its performance compare with Cyrus
  with the db backend, I'm guessing faster?

Try clustering your database servers, and we'll see fast.

- Does it offer anything like sieve, header filtering?

Not yet.

- Has anyone user MySQL replication to allow for
   account failover?

I could only imagine this is a benefit you get from symmetrical clustering, its not that difficult, the mysql doc is the answer.

Thanks, really excited to test this... but thought I'd ask
a few questions before jumping in.

Cheers
