Is dovecot the right choice for this problem?

I have a shared server with verio.  I have one particular client that sends and
receives numerous large emails, and those emails were causing me to run out of
processes on my verio server, and basically slow things down a great deal due to
the shared mail queue.  Verio suggested Dovecot to reduce server load and allow
this one client to have less problems with sending and receiving email.  Does
this sound logical to anyone in the know?

Thanks!

It does not sound right. Dovecot is not involved in sending mail. It 
never comes anywhere near the mail queue.

It does sound about par for the course for Verio support though. Spot on.
