I don't think you're paranoid, well, overly. All my servers are named very carefully, and get their own engineers(a.k.a toy). My newest cyrus server(thoth) will receive a fabulous lifelike toy donkey if it manages to survive a month in production. Most of my older servers are making due with festive drink umbrellas at the moment. I never discuss replacing servers in the server room.

Before we upgraded to a post-2.0.16 CVS snapshot back in September of this year we had just over 64000 lines in our mailboxes file, however we've been using BDB mailboxes database without serious problems (*knock on wood*). This is a Solaris 8 box--recently patched--with BDB 3.3.11. (I hate talking about machines, especially those that have been doing fairly well. I'm convinced they can hear you. Just when you say everything is all peachy, they up and loose a drive, power supply, memory goes bad, etc, etc. Now ain't that paranoid!) -- Amos
