I'm having a problem with this situtation...
I have 30,000-50,000 email users. I want to setup their mailboxs like:
/var/mail/users/0/00/maildir/mailbox
The maildir holds about 100 users. Each user has the proper directory
as their home directory in /etc/passwd. I hacked Qpopper to allow for mailbox
delivery, but I'm having problems configuring procmail to write to the
mailbox. I've create a .procmailrc and .forward file for all directories.
I'd suggest that you get the very latest procmail (pre6 at last count)
which uses a new more configurable method of finding the default
mailbox: you can write the method in C. It comes with optional code to
support the (builtin qpopper) style
/var/mail/g/u/guenther
by defining MAILSPOOLHASH to 2. Defining it to 3 would give you mailboxes of
/var/mail/g/u/e/guenther
etc. Is that enough splaying?
