I guess it depends on what you want to get out of it. In my case things needed user level security per forum/thread/post so to protect the attachments, I pipe the files out via jsp. I redundantly store things now, but I'm working on checksumming files and storing the chksum in a db. To prevent filename clashes, I store all files as #attachid#.dat
I can accomplish killing dupes by either symlinking subsequent instances to the original file, or by adding a file table to the db; then I'd have: forum/thread/post/(post-file)/file tables I store filename and content type in the file table so I can set headers when outputting In either case, email processing is a real tough beast to conquer. For example: HoF rejects mail sent from my blackberry, so I'm using the blackberry browser and posting this via hof.com :) Dov >> What I do is store all attachs in a db (msgid,filename, content type, byte >size, and cid, as well as a random attachid#) >> When I output the body html I use regex to replace img src=cid: with "img >src='url?msgid=idnum&cid=" >> Dov > >Other than storing in a database (store in folders) this is the thought I've >been bouncing.
