No. We're happy enough with nightly ( full ) backups, and the
transaction logs. But there is often talk of replication in the DBMail
mailing list, so certainly others are doing it.

Mostly InnoDB. DBMail uses InnoDB for everything, and this is by *far*
the biggest user of MySQL now ( 20 GB of email, compared to 2 GB of
everything else ). I also use InnoDB for larger tables ( we ran into
record-locking problems with MS Access and MyISAM, which disappeared
completely when we converted tables to InnoDB. We've since largely moved
away from Access, but we're happy with InnoDB's performance ). We use
MyISAM for limited use tables, or read-only tables.
