I've found a small glitch between qmail and the way my system is tuned.
The "noatime" feature is enabled for high volume filesystems, which has
improved performance. Since going with qmail, this has also caused a
problem with detecting new mail. The "noatime" was not used in /var/spool
and I'd like to leave it turned on in /home. But obviously, it is needed
wherever the mailbox files actually are. What is the feasibility of
moving the mailboxes out of the home directory, maybe back to /var/spool,
and just having a symlink in the home directory pointing to where the
mail really goes? Would qmail have a problem with this for mailbox format?
Would it be better to use .qmail files to point there instead? Is there
a way to do this in the default specification so the path is formed in a
way unrelated to the home directory, but formed from the username?
