OK... will wait for the reports back from the users to see which they prefer.

OK... I'll try to look at what plugins might be doing it... is there a
trace mode that would trace entrance and exit of every function?

Right now we are in the stage where our user services consultants are
kicking the tires and seeing what functions they want me to persue and
which we can get rid of.

Believe me I'd much rather enable something that could create and maintain
a maildrop file for each user. However as a virtual system there is no
home directory nor a .forward for each user. There is a qmail/vpopmail
directory and I could put a .qmail file into the system but I would still
need something that can handle creating maildrop files. Anyone know of a
plugin for Squirrel that can handle it? If not does anyone know of any
other web interface for a user to create a maildrop filter file?

The serious power user on this system is me and I use a hand edited
maildrop file for my filtering.

solution.

If I could find one... believe me I'd be using it. Though I'd still have a
cluster of 5-10 dual P4 Xeon 3ghz servers each with 2.5gb RAM and a 2TB
backend NFS server connected at gigabit speeds.

BTW, does anyone know whether squirrelmail can function in a web cluster?
Is it able to store it's session info in MySQL and not need anything local
to operate? I'm guessing that the /tmp uploads thing would need to be a
shared NFS resource... anything else need to be dealt with?
