PROBLEM
I have a large number of users (5000+) and UpdateDB has become time consuming and uses a lot of resources.
ENVIRONMENT
- On-Premise Server + WebMail Installations: Version 6.0 > Current Version
CAUSE
By default in most distributions, the "updatedb" command is run daily via Cron to index the filesystem Hard Drive.
RESOLUTION
A simple solution is to disable indexing of the Atmail users maildir by editing /etc/updatedb.conf
- Add the following directories to the "PRUNEPATHS" section
/usr/local/atmail/users
/usr/local/atmail/webmail/tmp - Save the changes and exit
