Good morning, I have a working Squirrelmail setup running on a test system using MySQL as the backend for storing prefs, address and session information. This is all working well, but I noticed that I still need to provide a $data_dir and an $attachment_dir which Squirrelmail seems to use during message composition. It seems to me like these directories will still need to be on some type of shared filesystem which (in my case) defeats the purpose for which I bothered with the MySQL setup in the first place -- to get away from our reliance on a shared filesystem between the webservers. I'm wondering what other folks are doing who chose to use a database backend for prefs/address/sessions so they could share this data across multiple webservers. Meaning, if you have to use a shared filesystem for the $attachment_dir anyway, why bother setting up MySQL in the first place? I feel like I must be missing something obvious here. I searched google and the list archives but saw no mention of this. Apologies if this is already covered somewhere.
