Any thoughts? Could the location be made dependant on the file size?
The file size isn't known beforehand.
But it could be known if the SIZE extention of LMTP is used right?
It wouldn't be known with deliver. And I wasn't planning on implementing SIZE extension for LMTP anytime soon..
Talking about LMTP ... if one runs lets say postfix on the deliver machine that is already maintaining a mailqueue and one uses the LMTP server of dovecot 2.0 to get the messages delivered, why would you need to write the mail to disk a second time (postfix once, then deliver again) of the message size is within reasonable limits (lets say below 100MB). So would you make the size when messages are spooled to disk (currently 128k as I understand) configurable?
Temporary files would typically stay in memory too and get deleted before written to disk. But I guess I could make this configurable.
