I had a problem in another thread in which it was suggested I use maildir
instead of mbox as a spool store. I've had a good old google around, and I
can't for the life of me find any one place that really tells me anything.
Does anyone have any pointers?
For ref., I have a fetchmail -> sendmail -> procmail set up (although the
sendmail/procmail are pretty much the default install), which dump incoming
mail to /var/spool/mail/<user> [I have spamassassin in the equation as well,
with one proc recipe to dump spam into a sep. spool mbox].
I then use dovecot with IMAP/POP locally to get that mail into
ThunderBird, and also serve it up (that that's still in the spool) from
squirrelmail.
I plan to fully move all incoming mail accesses to IMAP, with users
(well, the family :) ) filing from the IMAP Inbox to local folders as and
when, with no POP fetching or auto copying frmo the IMAP folder into
Local/Inbox. For that, it'd be good to have a reliable mail store, which
sounds like I need to bin the spool area.
How does 'maildir' fit into this? What manitains it? Where would
root's/other-local mail go - still to /var/spool?
