The real question is because we have only 2 options :
Why should I choose Cyrus instead of dovecot ?
Features like delayed expunge, message expiration, etc... that allow you
to have a managed mail store. Cyrus is the only Open Source IMAP/POP
server I know of with any capacity to support data-retention policies.
Ok thanks ! A good point on the cyrus side !
What about the performance ?
Cyrus performance is excellent. Is there a specific problem?
Personally I don't think anything is faster than Cyrus.
Does my next configuration will run correctly ? Which hardware should I
buy for this activity ?
Beats me.
At present, we have a lot of I/O, we wonder if the last version of cyrus
is improved for this point ?
If you have allot of users and allot of mail you are going to have allot
of I/O. No way around that, regardless of the server. Cyrus' indexes
headers better now, so that might help. But you still need adequate
through-put. I've found that /var/lib/imap (meta-data) needs fast I/O
but /var/spool/imap (message store) doesn't due too bad tossed onto a
SAN or slower disks.
Ok I got it, thanks for your experience feed back !
