is there any reason to enable mailsync functionality? does anyone out there still use it?

i enabled it, pointing to one of my own mailboxes as a test, and it immediately started sending hundred of keys to that address.

was it sending a backlog of every key I've received since I originally stood up my server that hadn't been mailsync'd yet? I've since turned it off as i was just curious.

i also did notice that when i did that mailsync test, and tried to query my server's /pks/lookup?op=stats, the sks-db daemon appeared to crash and not only stopped responding to all web requests, but also stopped sending incremental mailsync emails. and then it took forever to restart successfully when restart command was issued manually from the cli. not too concerned since it appears no one uses that anymore anyway but again, just curious. thanks.

Last I checked, pgp-public-***@the.earth.li is still accepting mailsync
emails.
