Re: mail to multiple users

[Jules Agee]

I'm pretty sure I remember reading somewhere in the docs that Cyrus 
already does this. If a single message is addressed to multiple users it 
creates a hard link to the same message in each mailbox. Nothing special 
required, as long as it's one message with multiple recipients.

Hi all!
I 've got a question about how messages are stored on the system.
Think of the following situation:
I have a huge number of users in my mailstore, lets say 50000.
And now i want to send one single email, maybe with a fully featured 150 
Pages colored PDF Attachment, to them all.

Can you see any chance, that this message is just stored once in the 
mailstore and there are 50000 references /links to that email?

What would the MTA have to tell cyrus to do that, if even possible?
I think a way around this are public imap folders. But it would be great 
if the first szenario would be possible.

Can anybody put a little light on this?
Thanks Helmut
