hi
follow-up about qpopper's performance:
Some people on the list suggested using qmail with its own POP3 daemon.
The key here is the "maildir" mailbox format.
If qpopper could understand that format, we could remove most of performance
bottlenecks like locking (there's *NONE* with maildir format), reading
the entire mailbox to list messages, rewriting the entire mailbox to update
status etc.
You don't even have to use qmail for delivery, since a very popular procmail
can deliver to 'maildir' type mailboxes since v3.14.
procmail is pretty often used as LDA for sendmail and other mailers for
filtering.
Any plans to implement this, any volunteers ? ;)
thanks
