Well, even if the filesystem itself does not actually implement inode semantics, it must emulate inode semantics nevertheless. Courier does depend on a file's inode being a unique file identifier. > But are there any other issues I need to consider, like synchronicity and > atomicity of mail delivery? No. I consider this issue to be rather overblown, and is only of interest to people who don't have anything better to talk about. -- Sam _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
