Thanks Tom. We're running this now in production, to see
what the less technical staff make of it.

Against a pgsql backend (on a seperate machine),
the performance of the initial import has fallen off by
a factor of three after about 180MB of mainlog and 31MB
of reject has been swallowed.
A "vacuum analyze" of the messages and rejects tables
at this time (or earlier, had I thought of it) is A Good Thing,
as the query planner doesn't really sit up and take notice of
the indices until that's done.

This could be added to the docs :)

Do any of the opensource DBs do this sort of thing automagically?
