the system will be a webmail (IMP) dealing with something
like 500000 users.
our actual choice would be exim+cyrus but the trouble is to
set hash spool with deliver from cyrus
but we evaluate qmail+imap uw too (using mysql patches
for those : the path to maiboxes is stored in databases)
so a hash spool on 2 levels is the only way to
obtain good seek performances.

>i would prefere this way to have a better overview...
there won't be pop installed
i don't even knew that qpopper supported that. it's a good feature.
>which plattform are you working on?
the exact type of servers has not been done yet, but it will be Sun
servers, using solaris, for sure :)
