Maildir does not require locking, and it easily enables you to enforce mail quota. Additionally, you can expire mail messages after reaching a certain age with standard UNIX file system tools, and, deleting messages out of the spool doesn't mean that you have to copy the entire mailbox. You need, howver, a file system that handles large directories better than ext2fs does for any system of non-trivial size. Greetings Marc -- -- !!

The real advantage I see it with Maildir, is that it allows you to run your mailspool over NFS, as it require no locking. That enables you to have several different machines delivering to the same mailspool. NFS is of course slower but having several machines acting as your mail system gives you totally different possibilities of taking down one server and refit it while the customers dont notice a thing. The mailbox format is the 'defacto' standard and some claim it to be faster. But it requires locking if you use several different programs working with it at the same time. pam makes authentication 'transparent' in that it allows you to choose the authentication method separate from the program using it. If the mail program supports MySQL authentication directly, they usually also allow extra information to be pulled from the tables. Courier-IMAP is of that kind, and allows you to specify for each 'user' the uid,gid,mailbox placing, password etc. In the end that can give you a system where you dont need to give mailusers "real" unix accounts. /Roger Abrahamsson

Re: pop3 and Maildir
Hello, We are using for custmer Maildir mail spool in user's home directory by solid-pop3d and postfix. If you can use Debian/woody box for mailserver, you use solid-pop3d deb. We made and used solid-pop3d debian package from woody source. > Hi, I was wundering if anyone knows of any pop3 daemons for Debian that > support the Maildir format.

The pop3 daemon that ships with the qmail package (obviously =) supports Maildirs. I have used it with great success on high load qmail installations. The license qmail is published under probably prevents packaging this daemon separately, but it could be easily broken out and installed by itself. I've found the tcpserver/qmail-pop3d to be incredibly effective. Brian O'Reilly
