so, the "most frequently used domains" rule is a vague one then...
What is more effective?
- searching a fairly empty (5 lines) rcpthosts file and then
searching morercpthosts
or
- just searching a large rcpthosts file.
Does the speed in searching a cdb more than outweigh the multiple file
handling/access delay?
If so, I'll just bung the few "static" things (like the machine names) in
rcpthosts, and make the mysql->rcpthosts script generate morercpthosts, and
also run qmail-newwhatsit.
what do we think?
cheers
