big mailer

[Cloudmaster <sauer@cloudmaster.com>]

Hey, do any of you have any experience with (implementing, using, searching
for, etc) a "more efficient than mbox" mail storage format?  We're setting
up a web-based e-mail system for about 20-30,000 students (initially) that
wil also provide IMAP and POP service, but no local readers.  I know that
using a big damned text file is not the best way to do things if it's
avoidable, and since it IS avoidable, I was wondering if any of you had any
other suggestions.

I'd also like to know if any of you have played with both Cyrus and WU imap
servers (those both do POP too, right?), and if there's any real strong
opinions as to the performance of either - or even strong opinions as to
alternatives.  I seem to have gotten the impression that with Cyrus it'd be
easier to create mail accounts without having to create system accounts, is
there any truth/merit in that?

Eh, I'll go research on my own now...  Thanks.
