Delayed attachment upload

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Is there any way to delay the uploading of attachment files until the
user hits "send?"  We have an environment with multiple SquirrelMail
servers (RHEL 5, SquirrelMail 1.4.17) and we are trying to limit the
number of external services, like NFS, that we depend on for
SquirrelMail to be fully functional.  

We use LDAP for to store preferences and address books and a PostgreSQL
database for session data.  But we still have to use a shared filesystem
for attachments, since the attachment request could have been handled by
one server and the send request by another.

I've heard that old versions of SquirrelMail didn't upload the
attachments until the message was sent, which sounds interesting.  Was
that the case, and is there any way to use that method with the current
version?  Plugins or code changes are acceptable.

The sessions are encrypted, which complicates using a front-end load
balancer to "stick" a session to a specific server for its duration.

Are there other, better methods for supporting multiple SquirrelMail
servers without a shared filesystem?

Best regards,

John Simpson
