Topic: DBMail questions and install errors

==== Provide required information ====
- iRedMail version and backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): DBMail
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: CentOS 5.8
- Any related log? Log is helpful for troubleshooting.
====

First. How is DBMail being developed? Is it active and worked on regularly? Plans for the future?

I'm looking at this to integrate it with some SAAS applications we have developed. One thing I like is storing email in a MySQL db for archival purposes and creating a front end for searching archives. Before we had down this path I'd like to hear what your plans are for DBMail and what shortcomings it might have compared to iredmail.

Also, I setup my yum repository per the install docs but you may be missing something on your end.

[root@app ~]# yum repolist

but get this:

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Re: DBMail questions and install errors

Also, how are you storing attachments? How are you storing various fields in the DB....sender, subject, body, date, time, etc?

Re: DBMail questions and install errors

We're not DBMail developers. We just develop the web-based admin panel, DBMailAdmin, for it. Please go to http://www.dbmail.org/ for more details.
