Re: Larga amount of accounts per domain - HOWTO ?

2001-07-20 Thread Tony Gale


You can store your 8000 mail accounts under one user account. Each one
having it's own Maildir. It will interface to courier-imap so you can
use imap and/or pop3 to access each mailbox.

Re: Concurrencyremote for a specific host

1999-10-21 Thread Tony Gale


There's always an exception. For example, legacy systems with strange
(but conformant) IP stacks - some VMS systems for example. I would
love to be able to do set per-host concurrency for such systems where
I know *exactly* what the upper limit on concurrent connections it
can handle is, cause it's defined in it's IP / MTA implementation. 

There's no point in going above this figure cause it just ties up my
remote connections due to the way it handles connections above this
number - i.e. it becomes a black hole.
