The included patch sounds interesting, but I guess I'll wait until it is incorporated into the standard distribution.while the SQUAT feature is great, it takes a few hours for squatter to grind through the mailboxes.
Anyway, we have come up with a different idea regarding squatter. I am attaching a Perl script we are using in lieu of an entry in /etc/cyrus.conf. It is invoked and halted by the following crontab entry for the cyrus user:
0 0-23/4 * * * /usr/libexec/cyrus/squatrunner.pl >> /var/lib/imap/squatter.log 2>&1
0 1-23/4 * * * /bin/touch /var/lib/imap/squat.stop > /dev/null 2>&1
It's been working very nicely for us, allowing us to start and stop squatter whenever we want without having to start at the beginning.
Cheers, Sebastian Hagedorn
