Insufficient data. Just to answer the maildir question, we need to know something about how the system will be used. Will all mailbox access be via POP or IMAP, or will some users log in to read mail using pine/mutt/etc? If the latter, will these people also need POP/IMAP, or will they exclusively use a local MUA? Some MUA's don't grok maildirs. E.g., pine requires patches. Mutt has excellent maildir support. For POP/IMAP users, maildir works well. For other configuration options, we'd need to know more details of your set-up. It's probably best to go with a basic configuration and tweak it as necessary. >2) Are there tuning/performance options I should change? Raise concurrencylocal and concurrencyremote.
