I highly doubt your deliver.db, mailboxes.db, and everything all combined are even more than 1Gb. First rule of system tuning, don't just turn everythign to the max because it sounds better. Heck under 32-bit you CAN'T access more than 2Gb by default anyway in cache. Since it's a 2/2 split.

MY first and most obvious suggestion is to check your logs. In particular /var/log/maillog as it's called on RH. See what they say about the disposition of the daemons and the mail, and go from there. Unix does a good job of telling you whats going on if you check log files, unlike Windows.
