## This is an example maildir configuration file.
##
## The maildir handler slowly creates a backup of each user's
## maildir to a remote server. It is designed to be run with
## low overhead in terms of CPU and bandwidth, so it runs pretty
## slow. Hardlinking is used to save storage space. The actual
## maildir is stored within each snapshot directory.
##
## The basic algorithm is to rsync each maildir individually,
## and to use hard links for retaining historical data.
##
## We handle each maildir individually because it becomes very
## unweldy to hardlink and rsync many hundreds of thousands
## of files at once. It is much faster to take on smaller
## chunks at a time. 
##
## Any maildir which is deleted from the source will be moved to
## "deleted" directory in the destination. It is up to you to 
## periodically remove this directory or old maildirs in it.
##
## Note: This handler assumes that the remote shell is set to bash
##
## The defaults are useful in most cases, just make sure
## to configure the source and destination information
