As far as I know there is no FTS at the moment in DBmail.

It would be possible to write some code to support a fulltext search engine to dbmail but there is no work done yet.

Hi,

I am due to be upgrading my mail server soon. I am currently using dbmail (old 2.2.x).

The question I am currently trying to answer is whether in the past few years dbmail has gained the advantage of being able to use full text search capabilities of the modern RDBMSes. Back when I deployed, it was the most sensible choice in terms of easy backups and near real-time replication since those features were enabled through the use of MySQL..

Today, we have stable ZFS implementations on most UNIX-like OS-es, which facilitates easy local snapshotting without a performance impact and easy backups using zfs-send. There are also alternatives such as lsyncd for efficient asynchronous near real-time remote backups. All of this makes Maildir a much more workable option than it was 8 years ago.

So the feature it all really comes down to is leveraging the DB's FTS for really fast mail searching. I found this wiki entry from 3 years ago:

http://www.dbmail.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/bodysearch

but have been unable to find anything saying that this has been implemented since.

If anybody could please clarify whether this feature now exist I would really appreciate it.

TIA.

Gordan
