Yup. AFAIK filsystem performance degrades when there are too many files
in any directory. Vpopmail deals with this by dynamically creating new
subdirectories for the Maildirs. After it goes through 0-9 it will do
A-Z and then a-z. After that it will start in the 0 directory and start
making subdirectories all over again.
The only wierd thing about this is that mail is delivered there will be a
Delivered-To: username@T header (instead of Delivered-To:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]). I'm not sure if that behavior is intentional.
