I think some of the confusion comes from the fact that the setting
name -- "archive max size" -- very strongly implies (incorrectly)
something like "the largest size of message that will be archived" /
"messages larger than this will not be archived at all". It takes a
fair bit of attentive reading to overcome that initial implication
and reach the correct understanding, that "messages larger than this
will be archived immediately, without waiting for archive_days".
But I haven't thought of a better name for this setting either.
My training is originally in both software engineering and Technical
Communications and this sounds like a REALLY good argument for
changing the name of the setting. "max_size_delayed_archive" --
where are they held if not archived immediately?
"max_size_cached_before_archiving" ?
Yeah, I agree it's a kind of crappy name. I honestly don't care what
colour this particular bikeshed gets painted. Pull requests at
https://github.com/cyrusimap/cyrus-imapd/ gratefully received.
Actually, I want to pull libsasl, but I don't know how to turn it into a
tarball so I can test it. Or how to get permission to push.
And if I can change that name for y'all on a weekend, I guess I could do it.
(feel free to come up with a better name for 'proxyservers' while
you're thinking about config naming, though that has a much larger
entrenched installed base)
