hmm - not sure if this is really a good idea to make it a default setting. It
is not a default setting in cyrus-imapd=2.2.13-9 and there's probably a
reason for that. The cyrus maintainers might be able to explain why it's not
enabled as default. Therefore CC'ing.
Some reasons I can image is that for a small setup squatting might not be
needed. For a large setup squatting (creating the indexes) takes _a long_
time.
So IMHO it should be up to the administrator to enable or disable it.
The cyrus maintainers have the following lines in their cyrus.conf:
-------8<-----------------------------------------------------------
# indexing of mailboxs for server side fulltext searches
# reindex changed mailboxes (fulltext) approximately every other hour
#squatter_1 cmd="/usr/bin/nice -n 19 /usr/sbin/squatter -s"
period=120
# reindex all mailboxes (fulltext) daily
#squatter_a cmd="/usr/sbin/squatter" at=0517
