Re: [courier-users] quota limits

This is a MIME GnuPG-signed message. If you see this text, it means that
your E-mail or Usenet software does not support MIME signed messages.
The Internet standard for MIME PGP messages, RFC 2015, was published in 1996.
To open this message correctly you will need to install E-mail or Usenet
software that supports modern Internet standards.

Not on a 32-bit platform.

On a 32-bit platform, the highest quota you can reasonably expect to work
would be in the neighborhood of 1 gig.

Furthermore, the number of messages in a single folder is also a limiting
factor.

First of all, there's no way you can stuff a single filesystem directory
with 500 million files. You're going to croak. The results will be
something like this: http://www.wnbc.com/family/5060215/detail.html
