I'm investigating consolidating the Sendmail servers scattered around my organisation to Postfix. For performance and reliability reasons we want to use failover servers and multiple pop servers, so of course I'm thinking about using Maildirs mounted over nfs (or some other n/w filesystem like gfs).
I've worked a fair bit with Postfix and Maildirs before and haven't had any problems, but I noticed this comment while doing some research "maildir format ... but might not scale adequately on your system for users who keep very large numbers of messages on your server" [1]. Any suggestions on how to approach/prevent problems with large Maildirs? Apart from using quotas, which isn't an answer :) [1] http://www.seaglass.com/postfix/faq.html#mbmd -- Sonia Hamilton -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
