Last I heard, AOL was a hard-core Oracle shop. Brad Knowles has stated
publicly that they use a big RDBMS as the back-end for their mail system
(and having helped build a mail system for 1m customers, I believe it);
I think that he even mentioned Oracle by name, and I know that Oracle
brags about them.
They might have a special build of Oracle to deal with their very high-end
requirements, or maybe they have something else entirely. I suspect the
former.
