Show of hands: How many people are running the 1.0-test series in a production environment and how many users are you supporting?
We're running Dovecot 1.0-stable (since we needed the mailspace feature of the 1.0 series) in an university environment. We migrated to Docecot in the weekend of 26th february and up until now we have almost 1000 unique users. We have about 3000 users in our passwd database, so I expect the number of unique users to grow.
As you maybe have seen on the list, we had a few problems. One of them is OS related (Solaris only supports 256 filedescriptors by default and that wasn't enough), the other problem is Dovecot 1.0 related: Pine and Outlook Express users cannot see in the mail index who sent them mail (the 'from' field is empty). Dovecot 0.99 didn't have this problem. I'm still waiting for an answer from TImo about this issue.
Bottom line: I like Dovecot a lot; it's fast, stable and easy to support.
Pretty much the same here, only 10 times less users, but no problems with PINE, mutt or Thunderbird. Outlook is actually forbidden here. ;)
