Just a minor thought. I'm having a look through the maildrop package, and I see that mailbot has -d/-D options for suppressing repeated autoresponses (nice).
However, I also see that it uses gdbm. Is this going to be safe on NFS systems? (perhaps by use of dotlock files when updating it?) If not, it might be an idea to have an alternative mode of working which records seen addresses in a linear text file, which could have a maximum size setting. Appending is safe, and rotating this file for purging old entries would be a cp/mv operation which would be relatively safe. If a maximum size were set (say 32KB) then the overhead of doing a linear search through this file would be pretty minimal, compared to the overhead of reading it off disk. I use deliverquota at the moment, but might change to maildrop (especially as I see that the quota warning mechanism is being merged in) Regards, Brian. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility Learn to use your power at OSDN's High Performance Computing Channel http://hpc.devchannel.org/ _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
