102            PATH is either an absolute directory name, or a valid `mbox' URL
103            in the form:
104    
105                    mbox:path;type=TYPE;param=N;user=
106    
107            This method allows you to use indexed mailspools. For servers with
108            a really big number of users this may provide a significant speedup
109            in opening the mailbox.
110    
111            TYPE is one of:
112                    hash       --  The user's mailbox is kept in a subdirectory
113                                   whose name is determined by hashing first
114                                   N characters of the user name. There are
115                                   256 subdirectories named from 00 through FF.
116                    index      --  The user's mailbox is located PARAM directories
117                                   down the `path'. The directories are named
118                                   after the first N letters of a login name.
119                                   For example, when N=2 the mailbox for
120                                   user `smith' is `/var/spool/mail/s/m/smith'.
121                    rev-index  --  Same as above, except that the last letters
122                                   are used, thus the mailbox for `smith' will
123                                   be /var/spool/mail/h/t/smith. This may provide
124                                   a better average distribution than the `index'
125                                   method.
126            
127    If you wish to use APOP authentication in POP3 daemon, you will have
128    to enable DBM support in mailutils. To do so, use one of the following
129    options:
130    
131      --with-gdbm      --with-gdbm

147    Only one dbm option may be specified. Which one depends on the flavor
148    of DBM you are using. GDBM is most common for GNU system.
