Hi John, so you "patched" your imapd with the exim nhash code? Is there no other way to get the imapd to deal with the nhash (builtin)?
I read the dovecot imapd documentation and I found this: "%H - take a 32bit hash of the variable and return it as hex. You can also limit the hash value. For example %256Hu gives values 0..ff. You might want padding also, so %2.256Hu gives 00..ff. This can be useful for example in dividing users automatically to multiple partitions. Note that if you're hashing usernames being in [EMAIL PROTECTED] form, you probably want to reverse the string to get better hash value variety, eg. %3RHu." I have to test that. Because of "locked directories" I was wondering that it is so hard to find anything about hashing maildirs in the internet. If you have time please send me your C code, maybe this is the only way to do this hashing. Thanks Torsten Linn, Dr John A. schrieb: > We use nhash and integrate it with Washington IMAP code.
