Hello! It was a very interesting discussion about Mail Storage efficiency and finally made me look into ext3 and reiser - very cool.

So I would like to come back to the primary issue: I would like to get a couple of people from here supporting a Debian Policy Proposal, where a standard way of expressing the installers preference about mbox or Maildir inbox delivery (system mailbox) gets drafted. If there is no better proposal it could be simply a file: /etc/default/maildelivery which could just contain one of the verbs: Maildir mbox MH Any packages treating with system mailbox handling, should use the first word in the first line of this file, to determine how to configure themselves. Now: I suppose the proposal should be acompanied by a transition guide, where all configuration issues with the most standard/frequent packages are treated. If anybody is willing to help get this going, please mail me off-list. Thanks in Advance, Jorge-Le�n mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
