I tried optimizing qpopper and then moving to Dovecot. Neither solution
worked for me. Even Dovecot would timeout under heavy load. I solved the
problem by moving some of my heavy traffic sites to another box. I'm
wondering if a faster hard drive would help out with the I/O timeouts on the
disk. I'd also like to know if maildir would be a better solution than the
current mbox format used.
