I've been using Dovecot for quite a while and am quite happy with it. Been meaning to add it to the book but not on the priority list ATM. Not sure how Courier-IMAP stacks up (esp for 995) but it is still pretty popular following Postfix Users list. Dovecot is very nice in that it also provides a SASL server implementation (single configuration for SASL with both Postfix and Dovecot). Haven't used Cyrus SASL for server in a long time, however, it is still needed for SASL client with Postfix (auth smarthost for instance). -- DJ Lucas -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content, and is believed to be clean. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
