The man page for squatter says: Any messages appended to the mailbox after squatter is run, will NOT be included in the index. <snip> NOTE: Messages and mailboxes that have not been indexed CAN still be SEARCHed, just not as quickly as those with a SQUAT index.
One thing is not entirely clear to me. What happens if I run squatter to create an index, then I receive a new message (which the man page says will not be in the squatter index), and then I do a SEARCH? Will the search ignore the new message entirely, or is it smart enough to use the squatter index, then check everything that is not in the squatter index? Also, what recommendations are there for running squatter? Should I run it daily? What would an entry in cyrus.conf for squatter look like?
