I'm having problems with qmail-smtpd dying on my Solaris box. It is running

This isn't an answer to the original question - just some thoughts...
How would vchkpw perform in this situation? (http://www.inter7.com/vchkpw/)
Presumably, the vpasswd file would be the bottleneck? Is it possible to use
vchkpw with a DB of some sort, eg CDB? Presumably, this would involve
at hacking vchkpw to handle a
cdb style password file instead of flat text however. While I'm doing fine
now, the business is growing and I want to be sure I can continue when I
hit 15k+.
Sounds like this may be a useful patch to have.
