Hello,

Actually, thousands of customers would send order emails to a system
running postifx.  All orders end up in ord...@example.com.  Then,
another app fetches these emails via Dovecot (POP or IMAP), ideally at
the rate of 1000 per second.

I think it might be difficult to accomplish this via POP since I think
Dovecot would have to lock the account while doing the POP downloads.
This makes it difficult to have more than one app downloading at a
time.

Cheers,
Bob
