Sieve - multiple cores/CPUs
Hi All,
I have a quick question about the Sieve in Dovecot. I know that this is a plugin so probably it depends on the Dovecot itself but:
is it able to use multiple cores/CPUs when doing the filtering? does the filtering for each mail user run on a separate core?
Thanks, Pawel

When a message is deliviered, a new process is forked. So, yes, if there are multiple simultaneously deliviered messages, multiple cores are used. But no, for one particular message the process uses just one core.
But I suppose, that this does not answer your question?
