Hmm, I doubt but there could be. My biggest deployment has 8800 users.
A few of those could be inactive as I need to do some housekeeping.


| What sort of hardware do you use.

HP DL380, single 3.0GHz CPU, 2GB RAM, SCSI disks.

Other than dovecot dying unexpectedly when compiled with kqueue support
on FreeBSD 6.1, nothing else. I had to disable Kqueue support.
Some tuning is required though. So far I have only bumped up the value
of "login_max_processes_count" to 200. Since then, it's been running 
non-stop for 10 days without any hiccup.

If A equals success, then the formula is _A = _X + _Y + _Z.  _X is work.  _Y
is play.  _Z is keep your mouth shut.
