For Linux:
  1. Heavily tested and debugged AND patched BerkeleyDB 3.2, stay away from
     4.x for now.
     (i.e. use the ones from RedHat or Debian, not upstream).
  2. Linux stability patches for Cyrus (see the Debian Cyrus package :-)
     Cyrus upstream source works wonderfuly on Solaris, but not in Linux.
     I think some of the RPMs distributed by people in this list have many,
     if not all the patches recommended by me and the fastmail.fm crew.
  3. Use the db3_nosync, skiplist, skiplist, flat, db3_nosync like Rob recommended.
  4. Journaling filesystem (xfs, ext3, Reiser), in a 2.4.20pre kernel.

For other OS:
  I have no idea :-) but it is unlikely the answers above are correct for
  them.
