I think I got a solution to for my problems with Cyrus 2.0.x. I noticed that imapd would stop responding when there was a lot of mail in the queue. During the delivery of lots of mail the imapd would stop accepting connections. Delivery would stop. After changing postfix to spawn not more than 2 deliver processes at a time things seem to be quite stable. It seems that the 'thundering herd' of deliveries would bring things to a halt. ...Jeff
