It has numerous advantages.
Many of my clients are video production companies with 20Mb per email I find with bsd mail spools when the drop gets to 250Mb or so the pop3 server take so long to respond to stat that the UA's time out and most ask for the password again. The user invariably clicks OK thus resetting their password to null string and locking them out. I suppose that a better pop3 server with an indexing facility would be an option, but I decided to convert all my clients over to maildir format. Which has corrected the problem. One of the ways this can be done is to write a short script to resubmit all the mail to the new configuration, this does messup the headers a bit, but 99% of users don't notice. > > -- > SeattleServer.com Mailing Lists - Casey Allen Shobe > [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://seattleserver.com > > -- > ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users > ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ > ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/ > -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
