Hi Walter,
Thanks for your message. After modifying the hashing code, how should I
configure multiple partitions ? I checked the manual for imapd.conf but
don't understand exactly how this is accomplished.
Extract from impad.conf follows:
partition-default: /var/spool/imap (this is the only one I already have
on my imapd.conf)
partition-one: /var/spool/imap1 (Do I have to add somehing like this ?)
partition-two: /var/spool/imap2
Is this correct ? Does the hashing code must take this into account
(several partitions) to be able to spawn directories distributed along them
?
Regards,
Andres Maduro
