Hmm, looks like it could work. The "Speed tests" section of
http://cr.yp.to/fastforward.html says that it takes only 6 seconds to
regenerate an alias db with 50000 entries. I could run a cron job every
two hours to regenerate the cdb.
My question about fastforward is: Will my existing .qmail-* files stop
working? If so, how can I make the ezmlm aliases still work? e.g. one of
my .qmail files for posting to an announcement list says:
|egrep -i "^From:.*([EMAIL PROTECTED])" || (echo "Permission denied."; exit 100)
|/usr/local/bin/ezmlm/ezmlm-reject
|/usr/local/bin/ezmlm/ezmlm-send '/home/ptscb/lists/buildreferrals'
|/usr/local/bin/ezmlm/ezmlm-warn '/home/ptscb/lists/buildreferrals' || exit 0
I don't think this would work in /etc/aliases, which is supposed to be one
entry per line.
