smaller sites can do DB fine.
larger sites would prefer not to keep state.
remember "blind men and the elephant" and "different strokes
for different folks".
Definitely. I seem to have a tree where I am.
But how big is too big for this?
Your site is probably one of the bigger forwarders out there,
along with sites like SourceForge.
Can you provide SpamAssassin service to all your users?
Probably not is my thought. The CPU load would likely
be prohibitive.
Can you keep 5 days worth of key:addr:addr triplets?
What, half a million records? 100MB database?
Or am I off by orders of magnitude?
From my perspective it looks like even large e-mail forwarders have
a small database problem this way, and the larger the forwarder the
greater the potential benefit of keeping tracking data and avoiding
spoofing attacks.
