As we talk about the original *NIX mail format I have a question about mbox maildir too. I'm about to set up a new (mail) system; pop3, imap supported So I have a choice: use sendmail/procmail + imap-uw - the standard UNIX mail format or.. use the courier package - gives me the Maildir format. What are the pro's and cons for/against both mail standards? Won't the maildir format with all this separate mails not be more difficult to maintain? I have to say that running courier/maildir never gave problems 'till now but having the chooce I very much want some insights/advice on this matter.

In what way more difficult to maintain? maildir makes backups easier as incrmental backups truly are incremental. With standard mbox format the whole thing is backed up every time if any new mail has come or mail downloaded, etc. There are various performance reasons for maildir as well. Try Google. I am sure you will find a whole ton of stuff comparing the two.

See http://qmail.bzimage.dk/man/man1/maildir2mbox.html. There is also a short shell script called qail which runs maildir2mbox and then mail. =Adriaan= ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
