   I'm resetting up my mail server..for a simple mail server, is it a good idea to switch to maildir over mbox? !debian

     @horseman I always pref. maildir 1email=1textfile

     @horseman: Yes, corruption can eat entire mboxes, Maildir stores the mails as individual files.

     @horseman: Mutt and friends also recommend Maildir over mbox

     @diablod3: Alright, I'll try to figure out the switch. I tried it once and failed, but this is a fresh new mail server. :)

     @horseman #Exim 4 can handle it iirc, and that's what most !Debian users use

     @diablod3: I'm using postfix and I know it can handle maildir. I'm just a newb

     @horseman I always prefer maildir. For small mailservers consider smail. See my FSM article for more info. !debian http://fsmsh.com/2937
