If the hash depth is greater than the length +of the username, "_" will be used. The necessary subdirectories must +exist; mail.local will not create them. Use the "-H" option to set the +hash type and depth (like "-H u2" for a username hash two levels deep). + +The HASHSPOOL option also adds two other options: "-p path" to specify +an alternate mail spool path (i.e., "-p /local/mail") and "-n" to specify +that mail.local should not strip the @domain part of recipient addresses +in LMTP mode. + +In addition to HASHSPOOL, defining HASHSPOOLMD5 and linking against +libcrypto from OpenSSL like: + + APPENDDEF(`conf_mail_local_ENVDEF', `-DHASHSPOOL -DHASHSPOOLMD5') + APPENDDEF(`conf_mail_local_LIBS', `-lcrypto') + +will offer an alternate hash, using a base64 encoding (changing / to _) +of an MD5 hash of the username.

The hash type is "m", so use "-H m3" to get a three level MD5 +based hash. + +$Revision: 8.11 $, Last updated $Date: 2003/10/20 20:19:13 $ |
