Re: Robustness
... did you ever hear of the principle:
divide et impera (latin)
divide and conquer (english)
divide the services or split a service into several functions.
your popserver could keep a db or hash of users with new mail in memory.
only for this users it needs to go an search the mails in the
filesystem. all others it just needs to say "no new mails".
maybe you need to hack your pop server a bit, but thats not that
difficult.
