My point is: if it is some special request (as I think) that triggers
the problem, and you think full logging will slow down your mail server,
try to split the work on one server for mail routing with no logging
(I experienced long lasting slapds serving mail routing for hundred
thousands users and millions of mails delivered per day with no problem
at all) and another server (on the same machine, doesn't matter) for
auth with full logging (and, of course, slow down and reduced service)
to find out what causes the failure.
