In regard to: [Imap-uw] Using hashed mail spool directories with UW IMAP...:
I was wondering if anyone out there has modified the
mailboxdir() and/or the sysinbox() routines to support mail spool
directories of the format
No, but we're delivering mail to home directories and are using
a hashing scheme when the home directory is created. The nice part of
that is that the imapd code doesn't need to be modified to do this.
/var/spool/mail/first_letter/second_letter/username
for example
/var/spool/mail/j/o/joe
That method is OK, but you're not going to get very even distribution,
because you'll have more users that have certain characters in the first
or second letter.
You'll get much more even distribution if you hash by their numeric id,
and use numbered directories for the hash dirs.
