Our system has a maximum attachment size, but i believe this idea is not
that good :D

i see, and seek()ability of pipes are OS related ?

Anyway, the performance issue i'm talking about is the following: some
postifx will forward mails to some filterservers via a tcp socket, these
servers will perform antispam & antivirus checks, and return the mail with
enriched headers. I'm just afraid that writing all of these stuff to the
disk would be load intensive, as we have a huge ammount of incoming mails
per second.

But I'll go this way and post to the list to tell you about how it runs.


Thanks a lot for your help Tomasz


kind regards
