So...this works fine. I wanted to ask you about the warnings about
thousands of shared folders. I don't know how many users will be able to be
placed on a single server (our current mail server setup starts chugging
with about 30,000 users at peak times, but that's an MBOX setup and I have
faith that this nifty Courier/Postfix setup will outperform it), but I would
like Postmaster to have access to each maildir.

What I'd like to know is, what is the best practice for dealing with this?
The readme discusses breaking up the index file into multiple ones. How
many entries per file is a good number? Let's assume 30,000 users per
server (if that matters). Thanks in advance!
