My client does mail file archiving to a separate server using archiving policies. These archive mail files become very large over time. Is there a way with policies to have the archive mail files only grow to a certain size limit and then create a new archive database to archive to?
So for instance the a_mailfile.nsf would grow to 1GB and then create a_mailfile2.nsf and then put new archiving messages in this file instead?
If this is required does anyone have a suggestion?

Lialis Notes email archive solution
I would like to invite you to have a look at this solution.
The solution
The Lialis email archiving solution archives the emails in your environment as you demand. Once configured, the selection of the emails to be archived runs automatically. You can determine which emails will be archived by the solution, for example emails older than 100 days.
How does the solution work?
The archived emails turn up on the normal Lotus Domino-server, on which the Lialis archive solution is installed. This central email archiving solution manage the entire archiving process. The main advantage of the Lialis solution is that employees have access to their archived email messages as easy as before, while the emails remain visible in their mail file folders. Via a link there is an invisible connection between the mail file and the archive database.
Find information
The archive solution has an special search functionality. This functionality searches both archived and not archived email messages. Therefore users don’t notice what happens in the background. The solution can be used for both personal as general email databases.
Houskeeping makes sure the archive database does not grow larger than a for example 5 GB.
Pricing of this tool lies between 5 and 8 euro per Notes database (pricing 2009)

Subject: Divide NSF archive mailbox - Download IBM Notes AMR tool… (split nsf archive files)
You can use the Archive Mailbox Reverter (AMR) tool for IBM Notes which allows you to specify date ranges to divide the NSF archive mailbox. Here are some basic steps to trick the AMR tool to divide it. NOTE: The AMR tool by default focuses on reverting archived mailbox items back to a primary mailbox.
NOTE: You might want to first click the Encryption button to disable encryption before clicking OK.
Open the new local mailbox (archive 2), then configure the archive profile to point to the original archive (archive 1). i.e. archive\a_jsmith.nsf
Edit your IBM Notes location and change the mail location to local. i.e. Mail file location: Local
Edit your IBM Notes location and change the mail file to the new local mailbox filename (archive 2). i.e. Mail file: archive\a_jsmith2010.nsf
Open AMR tool and generate archive report using “AMR Lite mode”.
Edit the report document (profile) displayed and add the original archive mailbox (archive 1) filename to the “Archive Files(s)” field. i.e. archive\a_jsmith.nsf
NOTE: This step is not required if you copy/paste 1 email message to the new local mailbox (archive 2) and test archiving it. i.e. archive\a_jsmith2010.nsf
Click “revert archives” button and specify a date range. i.e. Jan 1, 2010 - Jan 1, 2011
When you are done don’t forget to change your IBM Notes Location back to the original primary mailbox settings.
