Actually, based on what I'm seeing, the interesting point of competition
may be more along the lines of "how much per-user mail can you
successfully handle with Dovecot". Certainly, from the numbers, it seems
our specs/storage for 150 users is in line with what many of you are using
for 1K-10K+ users, and given all the issues we've had with indexes
breaking, perhaps it's as a result of allowing 12GB single-user maildirs
to exist?

Especially with beta5, we've seen our CPU/load staying very* low, but we
are still seeing the dovecot.* corruption now and then, as well as some
zombie imap processes, and occasional max open files exceeded...
