Greetings,
I'm attempting to set up qpopper 4.0.4 on a rather large installation,
and ran into something kind of odd in the handling of .user.cache files when
using server mode and home-dir-mail. I'd like for the cache file to either
end up in the users's home directory (as /data/user/u/s/user/.user.cache) or
in a hashed spool directory (as /var/spool/mail/u/s/.user.cache) but cannot
get this to work. I'd like to avoid having several thousand cache files
stuck in the same directory - that would certainly add some overhead in
checking e-mail. I tried the options below (no runtime config file used) but
popper would then make the directory /data/user/u/s/user/u/s/ and then
error our saying it couldn't write to /var/spool/mail/u/s (which had not
been created!):
./configure --enable-home-dir-mail --enable-servermode --enable-fast-update
--disable-old-spool-loc --disable-reverse-lookups --enable-shy --enable-temp
-drop-dir=/var/spool/mail --enable-hash-spool=2 --enable-check-hashdir
Any help on what went wrong would be appreciated.
