Thanks :)
btw, for those interested, we've now benchmarked Xmail vs. Post.Office, Imail, and MDaemon, and have found that it handles loads and scales better than any of those products. I have noticed one thing, though, which is not really relevant, but piqued my curiosity: The only thing that I've noticed that is "slower" is the initial POP3 banner.... in other words, Xmail takes considerably longer to bring up the initial POP3 banner after a connection on Port 110. The actual POP3 session, though, is at least as fast if not faster (we don't have a lot of POP3 users so I can't benchmark load well for POP3) than other products. Any idea why that initial POP3 delay occurs? Also, I'd appreciate a brief note on the issue of the spool queue number from an architectural point of view.... why does it create a structure like /spool/number/number instead of just partitioning into /spool/number? I can guess you're creating multiple inner queues, but why? Is it to allow for multiple threads to process queues independently?
