Question abaut the used dbm stuff - just some thoughts for the next steps not the current release ,o)
for the moment the current solution should be sufficient and also be able to handle some ten of thousends of mails
it uses $key, $value; my current implentation just stores the msg-ids and the messages itself are still save in the mail-dirs, can we put the mail-msg as value in those dbms? this can be done in the per maildir dbm file for example, so we avoid the 'problems' with large volumes of mail and don't get ten of thousends of mail in an directory - i think dbms can handle this - or?
since the msg-id is the key and the msg itself would be the value, but i havn't work so much with this dbm stuff, so i just don't know
also in the question of speed and so on...
It's no problem to store a mail in the database instead of "1" but please think about the size of this file:
2.000 bytes per encrypted PIN mail 1.000.000 users --------------- 2 GB of data some overhead for the organization --------------- --> one single file which is greater than 2GB
Nevertheless this is better than one directory with one million files. BTW a modern Unix should be able to handle such large files (Solaris, AIX, Linux 2.6 and BSDs should already support this today).
