Hi Guys,
I am wondering about mail deduplication. I am looking into the possibility of seperating out all of the message bodies with multiple parts inside mail that is recived from
dovecotand hashing them all.The idea is that by hashing all of the parts inside the email, I will be able to ensure that each part of the email will only be saved once.
This means that attachments & common parts of the body will only be saved once inside the storage.
How achievable would this be with the current state of dovecot? Would it even be worth doing?
I asked the same question recently. As Timo responsed at http://kevat.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2013-March/089072.html it seems that this feature is production stable in recent versions of dovecot.
And I think it is worth. My estimations (with just about 10 users of my organization, they are no accurate) is that you can save more than 30% of total mail storage.
To configure it you need to use options:- mail_attachment_dir
- mail_attachement_min_size
- mail_attachment_fs
- mail_attachment_hash
