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?
