Couldn't this also be done the same way as environment switching?
No because the master process adds the tag, not the mail process.
Ah, right. But that could be changed. I think login process also does
that, or at least I've thought that at some point it should do that.
So that with process_per_connection=yes the prefix can't be changed
but with =no it could be empty and the child process could set it at
will.
mail-processes.c:mail_connections
should probably be an array instead of a hash table.
Sure, either way. The hash table affords quick lookups when
mail_max_connections is large, but scanning an array for an int is
fast too.
But the current code looks like it finds the first free connection_id
in any case, which can basically be thought of as the first available
connection index number. And that's somewhat faster to find in array
than in hash. And lookup for the index number is also at least as fast
in array. So I don't really see any advantages for hash here.
