Is it possible to use Dovecot frontends in front of UWash backends?
I need a proxy pool ASAP. There is not sufficient time to migrate the backends for 40,000+ users so they have to stay UW for now.
I have been looking at Perdition but concerned about performance under load. Dovecot looks really promising with it's non-forking mode. I need simple dumb frontends no local mail.
In our University we have been using perdition for almost all POP/IMAP accesses for some years without ANY problem. It is reliable and efficient. Users here have many multimegabyte mailboxes (many of them >100Mb) and, according to our tests, perdition has never been a bottleneck. It works fine both with UW-IMAP and Dovecot. We have several thousands of active accounts, but cannot provide now data about number of concurrent accesses.
