Greetings,
I'm constructing a new qmail architecture for approximately 100k users
(maildirs on high speed NFS w/ pop3d and courier imap w/custom auth mods),
and have two options for inbound delivery locations:
1. Pull the info from an oracle db approximately every 15 minutes to
construct users/assign.
2. Modify qmail to pull the mailbox dir/user info _at delivery time_ from
the DB.
It strikes me that option 1 is probably better from a performance and
simplicity standpoint (plus in the event of catastrophic database or
connectivity failure) in that deliveries won't be interrupted. Has anybody
tried anything like #2, and have some decent insight as to why I might or
might not want to do this?
