: 	Maybe not exactly what you'd want to hear, but I have two
: suggestions:
: 
: 1.  Convert from Sendmail to Qmail and use Maildir's.
: 2.  Use qmail's pop3 system.  It's pretty much invincible.

Actually, you can continue to use sendmail and still use qmail's pop3
daemon with Maildir support, which is great for easing system load (have
to watch your inode usage though).
