This is a very hard question. I have the answer, but you not gonna like it.

Will you need tracking data?

- If not, why to use Mautic?
- If yes you’ll need to scale this up.

> Hi Ruth: Thanks so much for your reply. I’ve reviewed the issue as reported on GitHub. I think I’ll use the SQL Update statements as provided in that issue till hopefully a future release addresses the issue. I think any implementation of size makes it quite costly to run given the disk space requirements to handle how it presently grows the email\_stats table. I would imagine the [mautic.com](http://mautic.com) folks are experiencing some pain on this issue, ya? Thanks again! Bob H.
