[Dovecot] Large & busy site, NFS with deliver only servers

[Dean Manners]

Thanks Timo.  It definitely seemed to make some improvement, but I still end
up crashing out after a couple of minutes with:

Jan 22 23:30:48 mailfilter01 deliver(drawkcab at drawkcab.com): seq = 1161,
rec->uid = 0, first_new_seq = 1161, records = 1160

Tried disabling sieve and maildir plugins but still crashed out with the
same message.  Config used is:

mail_location = ...:INDEX=MEMORY

If you want the same dovecot.conf to use indexes for pop3/imap, put the
mail_location inside protocol lda {}
