Hi!

While fixing the sup-dump vs. default sent source bug (see posted patch) I 
stumbled over the following pieces of code:
1. SentManager uses source_id of 9998 for the default sent source
   (lib/sup/sent.rb:52)
2. DraftManager uses a fixed source_id of 9999
   (lib/sup/draft.rb:13,49)
3. SourceManager skips the source_id of SentManager and DraftManager
   while computing the id for a new source (lib/sup/source.rb:203)

Does that mean sup will blow up once I have more than ~10k sources? I'm already 
at > 5k sources (containing > 680k messages, took > 2 days to import), so this 
isn't just an academic exercise...

Wouldn't it be better to (*) use small fixed source ids for 
SentManager/DraftManager and let SourceManager start above a number of reserved 
ids (say: 50)? Is there something in sup that depends on the non-special source 
ids not to have "holes" (or will waste resources in that case)?

Another approach would be to make the SentManager/DraftManager source ids 
dynamic and add them to sources.yaml.
