Re: [2] Mailserver HDD organization
What do you mean by dbmail stuff? It can use postfix, sendmail, exim or
any other mailer.
With mbox (maildir is better) messages always need to be structured.
Dbmail saves it's messages already in a structured way, so this not
needs to be redone every time a message is being retrieved.
