Surprisingly, Postfix supports only the two socket directories that it was designed for. Before I even consider adding socket directories to Postfix I would like to see the result of a competently done benchmark across multiple operating system stacks (i.e. not just linux) that shows that loopback (127.0.0.1) performance is inadequate. With competent I mean a benchmark that does not ruin the performance of loopback sockets with Nagle delays because of improper buffering. Wietse
