Your code, so I believe you. I'm still on the way of migrating several 
other servers to one dbmail, and will see what performance we get. But 
as others reported good things, I believe that some thousand users 
shouldn't be a problem.

Currently the server does multitasking, if I understand correctly. What 
will be the performance boost of multithreading? Just the "takes less 
memory"? Or locking?

As Paul wrote, couldn't that be one code? After all, you just need to 
read through a message. Only in the new format there would be extra 
attachments, the old format has the messages in the body. Should be no 
change for that. But anyway, as we're light years from that, it doesn't 
make sense to discuss that, right?

I don't like cyradm, that's enough :-) We're currently developing our 
own admin code, maybe we will open that code then. It will be ISP 
capable software, with logins for users/admins/resellers, etc.
