Edward,

He was not ranting, or advocating using the director for anyone that did
not need it. He was simply (finally) attempting to make it completely
clear what the purpose of the director was and who it made sense for. He
correctly stated that the reason it is an issue at all is because
dovecot uses indexes when all of the other IMAP servers do not. It is
one of the sources of the huge performance gain in the product.

As I read down the thread, I realized that many of the posters were
pointing out that it shouldn't be used because postfix or qmail can
deliver without problems. But in doing that, you lose the performance
gain (and in my case the use of sieve filters) that the dovecot-lda
brings to the table. Even without using the dovecot-lda, the indexes for
the IMAP server are very worth it. Keeping the indexes in good shape
creates less work on the server, and good performance for the end user.

I find it ridiculous that you lashed out at him as a ranter and a troll.
If anything, you labeled yourself as one with those posts.
