I'm hoping that someone on the list can help me sort out
what I hope I'm doing wrong.  Our group seems to be devoting
a lot of time and heartache to running dbmail for our user
base.  Granted a lot seems to be database related.

So if there is anyone on the list that is using dbmail 2.0
with PostgreSQL (8.x) with 5k+ users, and a data set of around
20G would you contact me off list if you like.

The items I really interested in:
- How/if you backup or replicate your database
- How you deal with vacuum's (mine seem to take forever)
- How/if you deal with a vacuum FULL.
- What kind of schedule you use for dbmail-util
- The number of connections you have from dbmail and what kind
  of load that produces.
- What kind of "bad things" happen to DBMail when your database
  load gets rather high.

I know a lot of my questions will be PostgreSQL related, and
not DBMail related, but I'm hoping to find someone in the same
type of setup like I have to lower the interpolation that may
have to be done.

I was using slony1 to replicate my database, but that was
using excessive disk space in the database and eating up a
lot of memory.  If I don't run with Slony1, then it seems
everything works great, but I'm trying to plan for a free webmail
type site that may greatly grow in size.

Thanks.
