ext-todo and big-todo patches
Jason Mann
I'm building a new heavy load qmail box, and I want to apply both the
big-todo and ext-todo patches.
Will these two patches work together?
My guess is no, because big-todo changes the structure of the todo
directory, by splitting it, and ext-todo probably won't take this into
account.
Can anyone confirm this?
If it turns out to be the case, are there any "combined" patches which will
work?
Thanks in advance,
Jason

You can do both with the patch I referenced in my original reply, but
if you ddi have to choose between the two, the decision would have to
be based on the nature of the mail load on the system and the type of
filesystem upon which the queue resides.
Those who need the ext-todo patch tend to *really* need it, and find
that it makes a huge difference. These are generally systems that have
constant, high rates of incoming and outgoing mail--especially those
operating near capacity.
The big-todo patch is more subtle, and, if the queue is on a
filesystem that does hashed directory lookups or clever lookup
caching, it won't help much at all.

This patch was perfect.
