Hi all,
any ideas?
Especially point n.1 (no hardlink when sending the same email to
multiple addresses) confuse me a bit. Searching in old messages I even
stumbled on some users stating that, using Dovecot LMTP server, they
achieved what I want (one messagge, multiple hardlinks), but I am
_already_ using LMTP with no avail...
Regards.

Hi all,
I have some questions about hardlinks, alternate storage and
compression. I already scanned the list for related information and I
have an idea of how things works, but I would like to have a definite
answer.
System spec:
- CentOS 6.6 x64
- dovecot-2.0.9-8.el6_6.4.x86_64 RPM package/version
- sdbox mail store
1) About hardlinks: when sending the same message to two different
recipients, I see that the two u.x files are created as two different
files. Diffing them, I see that the only difference is a single char
(see [1] for an example). My questions are:
a) it is possible to tell dovecot to create a single file + a single
hardlink (linkref=2)? As other IMAP servers support that features (eg:
Cyrus, CommunigatePro, etc) I am wondering if I missed something in
configuring dovecot...
b) If it is not possible, can I run a script that compare the various
files and substitute equal ones (minus the changing line) with
hardlinks, or it will confuse dovecot? As a side note, why the changing
line ever exists?
2) About alternate storage and compression: actually, I use a single
mail_location without compression. I would like to have an alternate
storage and to enable compression on it only, leaving the main location
without compression. I if understand it correctly, it _should_ be done
using a command similar to "doveadm -Dv -o "plugin/zlib_save=gz" altmove
-uu testuser sentbefore 8d". I'm right thinking that it should work? I
will really end with a primary uncompressed mail store and an alternate,
zlib-compressed one?
Thank you all and sorry if I did some naive questions.
