That`s correct, but Exim has to find the maildirs first, to deliver the
mails.
I tried Dovecot Imapd and found that it can handle variables like "%1u"
which returns the first letter of the username.
In the Exim config I can use the function "substr" to get the same
results. Now I can combine these to take the first and the second letter
from the username (or even more) to get a better balance.
With this I can build a directory structure like this (for the user
totty): "/var/spool/mail/t/o/totty".
Is there a possibility to use this within Courier (like the variables
from Dovecot or the "substr" from Exim?
I haven`t found any hints in the documentation on the website.
Is there any other documentation?
Thanks
Torsten

Thats true, but I give it a try.
Well do by all means, but it's very easy to do it properly.
echo -n "foobar" | md5sum | head -1c
gives you 16 subdirectories (0-9, a-f) with very good balancing. As long as
this has been stuck into a database then you can use a DB search whenever
you want to find which subdirectory a particular account is in.
