Or will there be a global index?
Yes. That's what dbox SIS is about. You have a global repository of (large) MIME parts, indexed by their SHA1 sum (or something).
In the case of zfs then, the filesystem may as well do the dedup'ing.
Or "dbox may as well do the deduping"? :) I guess it comes down to whose algorithm is fastest. I suppose they're more or less the same, if it's possible to tell zfs to dedup files only in /mail/attachments/ directory (I guess you can create a separate filesystem for that).
