GSOC 2015: Message queue based email archiver
by Andrew Stuart March 3, 2015

Florian/Aurelien, I’m curious to understand what would be the benefit of message queue based archiving and how do you see such a thing working? Is there some problem with the existing archiving that this would solve? thanks as
