I'm doing this:
(while :; do mv postman postdump/postman.`date +%Y%m%dT%H%M`; mkdir postman; chmod 2750 postman; sleep 3600;done)&
then a separate job to rm -rf postdump/*.
I'd guess we've of the order of 20000/hour going into postman, but
really I'd just like to say I just don't want anything in there.

IO we're mostly OK on at the moment, but a monster postman directory
was really hitting directory operations.
