Long Lived imapd processes

[Earl R Shannon]

Hello,

Well, we have probably pushed the machines we have here just a little 
too far. Every now and then they seem to buckle under the load of email 
delivery. We want to try and get back as much overhead as we can to try
and make these occurrences hopefully go away. Even a little bit of swap 
space would be a help. :)

Regards,
Earl Shannon
