I completely forgot about the mbox/nfs situation, but you are most
certainly correct. Does anyone happen to have any innovative ideas
about per user quarantines in a clustered sort of setup, or am I stuck
using client/server mode with libdspam processing only occurring on a
single server.
If anyone is running dspam across multiple servers, I would be
interested in knowing what you did or concessions you had to make to get
a working setup.
We don't run our dspam (or IMAP) setup on shared servers, but we do run
an alternative IMAP quarantine setup to dspam's native CGI that would be
suitable for NFS, just as IMAP is suitable for NFS *if* run on a
dependable backend such as Netgear or NFS 4 (this last has been
discussed often on the Courier IMAP mailing list).
Users drag 'n drop (Evolution, Thunderbird, Outlook[Express]) or move
(SquirrelMail) misjudged messages to a "misjudged" folder and a cron job
reclassifies the messages every hour and moves the reclassified message
to an appropriate folder (INBOX or INBOX.Spam). The cron job also
mangles the dspam header so that the message can't be submitted a second
time.
This is not an answer to your original question, it is an alternative
way of doing things ;)
