So, Exchange Servers just grow and grow. One option is to use archival software to move emails, etc. out of the server...but recently I thought, "Why move the emails out at all?" If one could remove the file attachments the store wouldn't increase in size nearly as much...and theoretically, it would be possible to link to the files on the filesystem in the email, so the user experience would be the same. I was wondering if such a solution was already in existence?
MailArchiva Enterprise edition can remove attachments and stub with a reference to a different data store.
