Running squatter indexes the text of all the messages in a particular mailbox, and creates an index file in that mailbox that Cyrus will use if the mail client makes a SEARCH request. When a user tries to search through the content of their messages for a particular string, if squatter has been run on that mailbox recently, it will be much, much faster. I run squatter nightly. As far as I know, if squatter fails on a mailbox, that generally just means that searches won't be able to use the index for that mailbox, and they will be slower than they would otherwise. -Jules --- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
