deliver has the following:
-- -- --
/* After buffer grows larger than this, create a temporary file to /tmp
where to read the mail. */
#define MAIL_MAX_MEMORY_BUFFER (1024*128)
...
static struct istream *create_raw_stream(int fd, time_t *mtime_r)
...
input = i_stream_create_seekable(input_list, MAIL_MAX_MEMORY_BUFFER,
"/tmp/dovecot.deliver.");
-- -- --
On most of my systems, /tmp is relatively small (a few hundred MB, and sometimes
on ramdisk), and I like to use /var/tmp for larger temp space.
I just had a problem where I exceeded the space available in /tmp while
delivering a (multi recipient) message and had to modify the above line to
use an alternative location, and recompile.
Would it be appropriate to make this a configurable option instead?
Thanks.
