Guys,
We have a very large maildir for email auditing purposes. It's currently at 600 GB and continues to grow.
Can dovecot handle this with squat indexing, or am I out of my mind?
You can try of course, but that might be a bit too much. :) I've only tested with a 1,4 GB mailbox and memory usage went somewhere like 700 MB I think.
Aha...I see...I was under the mistake impression that this was a disk-based index.
Given that squat seem unfeasible, can anyone recommend another approach? I'll look at Lucene integration, but if anyone knows of a dovecot way or of another tool that would do this effectively, commercial or open source, please let me know.
Thanks! John
