Background info: I'm migrating to qmail from sendmail and I use hashed
directories for my mail spool (to depth 2; e.g. /var/mail/m/p/mpcathey).
I was looking at arranging my mail spools and hosted sites like this.
/webs/f/o/foo.com/users/s/i/sillyemailuser
^ /html webroot for domain here
I don't know how big of an effect hashing the domain would help, but it
definitely speeds up opening the user home directory.
I was going to go with @'s here as well... :\ (sorry Henning...)
Just my 2 cents.
Cheers,
Mike
