    Hy, i'm Administrator of an University, and my mail (pop/imap) server
    has 5-6 average LA, the machine is an Dual Pentium Xeon of 2.4Ghz, with
    1Gb of RAM, and one UW-SCSI 320 of 36Gb. My domain has 4000 email
    accounts, and 5 list of 3000 local users (that send one or two email by
    day). The problem is that users gets TIMEOUT everytime that try to
    download emails, etc etc.. My Webmail it's running on other server
    connecting by imap, and i have another SMTP that checks virus and spam.
    I don't know how can i do, i change from Sendmail to Postfix that helps
    a little bit, but still loaded. I will appreciate your help/experiences.
    My solutions could be: Change from mailbox to maildir, buy another disc
    only to be used by /var/spool/mail or building a mail server cluster
    (last choice).

    Thanks,
