That's what most people are doing in the Linux world, and it completely mitigates the disk speed bottleneck with only a minimum of filesystem overhead, and leaves Paul and me free to not worry about the details too much ;-) Perhaps adding a config option for the location of the tmp filesystem would be useful? Some admins might consider re-using an old /var/spool/mail partition as their scratch space, or mount an in-memory tmp filesystem at some alternate location. Ah, or just wait a while and the FreeBSD folks will have their own in-memory tmp filesystem: http://wiki.freebsd.org/TMPFS Aaron _______________________________________________ DBmail mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.fastxs.nl/mailman/listinfo/dbmail
