Hi Bob,
Just to make sure I understand you: Some app is sending emails to orders@example.com at the rate of 1000 per second, and another app is fetching email from orders@example.com to process them?
Hello,
Actually, thousands of customers would send order emails to a system running postifx. All orders end up in orders@example.com. Then, another app fetches these emails via Dovecot (POP or IMAP), ideally at the rate of 1000 per second.
I think it might be difficult to accomplish this via POP since I think Dovecot would have to lock the account while doing the POP downloads. This makes it difficult to have more than one app downloading at a time.
Cheers, Bob
