I've been looking into postfix over afs, but since it uses hard links for maildir inboxes it won't work. what are you using?


The hardlinks in the maildir delivery protocol are only used to make
rename atomic which it isn't on most network filesystems (at least not
on NFS). The answer is that you simply replace your 'link+unlink' calls
with a rename, which is atomic in AFS.

We (Stockholm university) happily accept spam for ~25k users into
Maildir using maildrop (part of courier http://www.courier-mta.org)

Does maildrop need patches to call rename() instead of link+unlink? I've heard that procmail already calls rename() instead of using link+unlink.
