There _was_ a thread on postfix-users and elsewhere about softupdates having
some issues with a large mail spool, IIRC (I don't run postfix - and one of
my friends running postfix told me this after I suggested using
softupdates).

Could somebody confirm whether it is a hassle on exim - for a very large
mail spool (like a million or so mails through the relays, per hour)?
