    Eliminated 2 of the 3 SQL lookups and plan to remove the 3rd today.

    Ideally I would like to decrease incoming mails only to these two machines.
    Other machines are fine.

    We have 4 mailstores. These two have the better hardware so we moved the
    heaviest smtp traffic domains to these two machines. I am still trying to
    convince the powers that be.. to get a SCSI setup for these domains.

    Correct. Maildir run off Courier IMAP, serving imap and pop3.
