so - there gets the time saved, when the last mails got send, either automatic or manual. so if new mails recieved from a higher level we save them and they get an actual timestampproblems may occur if high ammounts of mails have to be send (or are in the directory) every mail file will have to get touched one time to read the timestamp(mtime) compare it with the last-send-timestamp and then finaly call the sending routine if its new (so if there some 10 or 100 of thousends of mailfiles in the directory this gonna become a bit uncomfortable, if we check every timestamp if we wann send new-imported-mails..., either we think of storing them in a db-file with timestamps or at least the timestamps somehow, so one can easily just select the new mails whithout touching every single file-timestamp-informations)
also the mailfolder concept may get into problems with high amounts of files, like one to several mio files in one dir (if we have some mio certs issued for example ;o), most filesystems don't like this too much, so there should be a paradigm change anyway for the next developement stage (0.9.3)
and i know what i'm talking about, we have here some experience whith such amounts (above one mio) of (also small, some kb) files in an directory and this brings you into trouble, trust me, since we changed this to get handeld with an real dbms which stores the files, its fine (filesystems, doesn't matter which one, usaly are not designed to handle this amounts of files reliable; an dbms can handle some mio of entries, even if its binary blobs or something, more simple and its designed to do this)
but i don't see a much simpler way at the momment, other solutions may require some more code-changes - so for the moment it may be sufficient
to avoid the problems with the counter and cert-serial mismatches... since we are not at the stages to handle one mio certs if i check our roadmap ;)
