Are docecot and postfix located on the same server? Can postfix access (deliver) directly maildir file directory dovecot uses?
For the moment yes they are on the same server. I designed it to be modular, the various components can be placed on different systems with no configuration changes required, should it be necessary.
I'll note that Postfix does not appear to have any problems writing the files to its queue as fast as they are being delivered to it. Postfix and Dovecot are writing to different disks, though both are on the SAN, and both have noatime set.
As I understand:
- maildir is designed for allowing fast "lockless" parallel deliveries
- dovecot's LDA updates some dovecot specific index/cache files even for deliveries to maildir => making postfix deliver to maildir without updating dovecot specific files may solve your performance problems
