They thought it was a very cool idea, but since they had closed source Object Store plugins for Dovecot like Scality they couldn't allow RADOS to be implemented for Object Mail storage. My idea is basically: Dovecot -> libmailrados -> librados -> Ceph Now that OpenXchange acquired Dovecot it might be that this possibility opens up! Just wanted to get this out there. I currently won't be able to look into this, but it would be very cool if this happens. -- Wido den Hollander 42on B.V. Ceph trainer and consultant Phone: +31 (0)20 700 9902 Skype: contact42on
