    Never seen these problems. IIRC, there was a thread about error
    messages coming from famd several months ago. As I understand the
    message, it's just a famd config issue, but I don't know for sure.

    I use procmail to pipe through SpamAssassin (spamd) and do some other
    sorting before delivering to maildirs, but I never have connection
    problems (unless I forget to recheck configs after upgrading the
    courier auth package). Of course, I haven't talked my wife into
    letting me buy that PowerBook yet . . .

    Courier-imap has been running flawlessly for me for around 3 years. I
    understand it can handle several hundreds (or thousands) of times more
    load than I can give it. It's not idiot proof, but running a mail
    server really shouldn't be, don't you think?
