Snip from qpopper's release notes.
Added several mail spool access methods. If your site is large
and you wish to improve mail spool file access you might want to use
these. They require modification to the local mail delivery program.
One method hashes the username into one of 26 possible directories,
the other method creates a hierarchy off the name such as /m/ma/mark.
So, the program supports it. It's just a matter of modifying the "local
mail delivery progam", whatever that means. I've never tackled this type
of setup before either. Anyone else have more info on this? URL maybe?
