hello there ;)

i'm currently still runnning dbmail 3.0.2 on my production server. the current dbmail database size, as reported by phpmyadmin, is about 1.8 GB

i also run a daily script notifying users about their mailbox quota. this quota script also scans through all users and reports back the current mailbox size of each user and also calculates the total. today it reports a total of 1150 MB

so this means a database overhead of about 600 MB. is this overhead normal?

yesterday i installed dbmail 3.1.17 on a development server. copied a database backup from production.
run the mysql migration scripts 3_0_2-3_1_0.mysql and dbmail-util -ay
which seems to clean up lots of stuff:

linux:~ # dbmail-util -ay

Repairing DBMAIL message integrity...

Repairing DBMAIL physmessage integrity...
Ok. Found [373] unconnected physmessages.
Ok. Orphaned physmessages deleted.

Repairing DBMAIL partlists integrity...

Ok. Found [273] unconnected headernames.
Ok. Orphaned headernames deleted.

Repairing DBMAIL headervalues integrity...
Ok. Found [90075] unconnected headervalues.
Ok. Orphaned headervalues deleted.

etc etc ...

after the cleanup phpmyadmin reports 1.5 GB on the dbmail database
my dbmail quota script reports a total size of all mailboxes with 1182,16 MB
an overhead of about 300 MB with dbmail version 3.1.17

is this database overhead of approx. 20% of the database size normal?
or is this something i need to worry about??

thanks, greetings & all the best
becki
