[courier-users] Indexing of arbitrary header-fields
Is it possible to make Courier index arbritary header-fields? I run a large-scale courier based IMAP-site - and we have a steady growth in header-searches (mostly for self-defined X-SOME-NAME: some-value). On the same time these folders are increasing in size and number of messages. I presume this is kind of difficult since IMAP's protocol defines a match for a search as a substring of the valuefield: SEARCH HEADER My-Field MyValue so a SEARCH in My-Field for al, My og MyValue would all match, hence hashing or other techniques won't work - at least not for a substring - thus breaking the protocol if implemented this way. Does courier implement any [propitary] indexes? Do anybody know of an IMAP server that can make use of a back-store in a database or the likes, giving faster searching, and a IMAP capable front?
