Qmail is *NOT* reliable with ReiserFS
ReiserFS does not commit link() synchronously (mounting with "sync"
doesn't change anything). Therefore, if there is a power outage during
the Maildir delivery or if qmail-smtpd answered the final "queued"
message without actually commiting the link in queue/todo, the message
will not be processed by qmail-send.
Here is a patch to make Qmail more reliable for Linux users using a
ReiserFS partition.

Re: [PATCH] Transparent maildir compression.
Michael T. Babcock écrit: This would probably be most useful on machines with more CPU than drive space. Mind you, drive space does tend to be cheaper these days than CPU time. It depends on your email traffic. A small company usually has a single box for web/ftp/mail/fax/dns and no more than 20 mails per hour. Nobody will notice the compression CPU overhead, but more disk space will be available. And yes, disks are cheap these days, but RAID makes them expensive. Best regards.
[PATCH] Transparent maildir compression.
Here is an experimental patch against Qmail 1.03. Messages will be saved in Maildir spools as gzip files, and the POP3 server uncompresses them on-the-fly. It may save a lot of hard disk space (especially on ReiserFS partitions with tails) and does not change anything to the POP3 nor SMTP protocols.
