Go look through the postfix mail list archives at www.postfix.org for Maildir. Basically what it boils down to is if you have very little mail Maildir is just as good as mail box format. But the more mail you have the suckier Maildir performs. It's *alot* easier to deal with one large file then a directory with tons of smaller files. Especially for searching. So basically if you never go above a handfull of mail it won't matter to much. But the more you throw at Maildir the worse it gets. ============================================================================= -Chris Watson (316) 326-3862 | Sr. Unix Administrator Work: chris.watson@twa.com | Trans World Airlines, Kansas City, MO Home: scanner@jurai.net | http://www.twa.com ============================================================================= WINDOWS: "Where do you want to go today?"
