You are trying to do 70,000 account on one server? Are you f-ing nuts!!!!
Why not? You have problems with that?
That is what clusters are for! Then, the standard directory structure
of Dovecot becomes an even better idea.
Actually, we built Alpha cluster when numbers went above 100,000. Mostly
becasue of redundancy. As far as CPU power, the big Alpha server was doing just
fine. If the big server smoked in the middle of the night, it would take us
hour or two to get spare running. With cluster, there would be no downtime at all.
Don't forget to mention the lightning fast advfs file system.
I'm using cyrus at home. FC3 with one user.
