Hi,
Regarding Qmail and it's record of users (as opposed to user
authentication in POP), so that mail can be delivered to a user's
mailbox: I understand that this is generated into a cdb file, which
is periodically rebuilt with qmail-newu. Regarding this cdb
mechanism,
- How long would it take to rebuild a file for, say, 100000 users
on a powerful machine (say good Sun or dual-Pentium)?
- Is Qmail tied to using cdb as its mailbox-lookup mechanism,
or could a back-end database be used, to accept new users
on the fly without having to rebuild a 'static' database periodically?
cheers,
Andrew Richards.
