When compiled in server mode and with support for a hashed mail spool, it is very
good. We have been using it since 1996 and have ~14,000 mail accounts. We use
a two character hash {/var/spool/mail/u/s/user} to keep the number of entries per
direrctory managable {~20 entries per directory for 14,000 accounts}. This also
lets you use multiple drives/partitions {average storage requirements are 1MB per
account, 14GB for 14,000 accounts}. We use 2 sets of RAID mirrored 18GB SCSI
LVD drives. We have good performance, and enough headroom to keep going even
during spam and virus storms.

Hello list,
As the subject indicates, I am inquiring into what POP3d would be good for a high traffic server? My former ISP uses qpopper and does over 10GB of mail transfers per day.
Thanks in advance
Sincerely,
