How are attachments stored in the Post Office?
Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer
Q:
Since storage is a concern, can you tell me if an email with an attachment is sent to multiple recipients, is that document then stored within GroupWise a multiple number of times? Or is it just an image that sits in one location only?
A:
From the GroupWise 6.5 Documentation:
Message Store:
The message store consists of directories and databases that hold messages. The message store is shared by all members of the post office so only one copy of a message and its attachments is stored in the post office, no matter how many members of the post office receive the message. This makes the system more efficient in terms of message processing, speed, and storage space.
See Information Stored in the Post Office for the details.
