I agree. The operating system gives us the privilege of binding to a specific interface, so one could argue that Binc IMAP already "supports this feature". :-) It's just a matter of setting up the tcp wrapper. In this family we also have the infamous "limit number of connection from same IP", "allow dumping of protocol data to separate file" (we all have to admit that Binc already "supports" this feature)... Andy PS: I must say it feels good to see other servers implement IPv6 support, load balancing, multithreading, mysql and ldap authentication support and features like this last one (of which there are hundreds of variations). I also feel good when these features are mentioned over and over again in the servers' change logs. -- Andreas Aardal Hanssen | http://www.andreas.hanssen.name/gpg Author of Binc IMAP | "It is better not to do something http://www.bincimap.org/ | than to do it poorly."
