Hi there.

I have read what I could find, but not enough apparently.

I am about to migrate my server to a postfix / dovecot setup.

I have stumbled on the mentioned option and are wondering if I should use it.

I have read about it, and I understand the difference, but I cannot find anything that guides me to what I should do.

A pro / con list ?

I figure that there are a reason for the default value, but also wonder when I will benefit from changing it.

My plan is to (if possible) make spamassasin put spam i the spamfolder under the seperate users (serverside), I dont know if that make any difference here.

If it makes any difference, I'm running 2.2.27.

Best regards Danjel

LAYOUT=fs with maildir makes maildir use filesystem directories for folders, so instead of '.mail.folder' it will use 'mail/folder'.

Make sure you put mail_location (or mail from userdb) to something like maildir:~/Mail

Yes, I understand that, the thing I'm not sure of is when should I use one or the other?

What are the pros and cons for each solution?

I thought about, what if I have lot and lots of mails?

I have about 100.000 mails in my mailbox, stored in 402 folders, several of my users have similar amounts.

I don't know if that is "lots and lots".

Third party....

Any recommendations regarding spamassasin?

As mentioned, a perfect solution for me was to have the server put detected spam in the users spamfolders.
