My point also. Doing sha1 on the whole file seems to make the most sense. People who want to do bigger files faster can simply add more lmtpd hosts with bigger cpus and more ram. The proposed schema has some merit, but I would rather setup two new tables (partslists and mimeparts) which would be functionally like Jonathan's two tables. Main difference is I want to leave the current tables as they are: new messages get inserted into the new setup, and old messages are left in the old format until converted by a lo-pri run of dbmail-util. The message retrieval code would then first try to reconstruct the message from the new tables and failing that use the 'old' current setup. -- ________________________________________________________________ Paul Stevens paul at nfg.nl NET FACILITIES GROUP GPG/PGP: 1024D/11F8CD31 The Netherlands________________________________http://www.nfg.nl _______________________________________________ DBmail mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.fastxs.nl/mailman/listinfo/dbmail
