I use courier-imap and exim. Maildir has no problems with 10s of thousands of mail messages in an account. I don't have a ton of accounts on the system, maybe 100, but Maildir is not the limitation. And this is on FreeBSD with ufs2 as well as some nfs mounted stuff from a Solaris ZFS server (some accounts are on local ufs2 and some are nfs mounted) Chad --- Chad Leigh -- Shire.Net LLC Your Web App and Email hosting provider chad at shire.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
