I believe you are implying a dovecot setup. Dovecot is already implemented and provides both an imap and a pop server that supports many mailbox backends (at least mbox and maildir). > and got to thinking > about gnu/mailtools. > What are the advantages of dovecot > over gnu/mailtools? Does gnu/mailtools support maildir? GNU/Mailutils provide libraries that also support multiple mailbox backends. Dovecot has its own implementation for them, so the 2 projects are distinct, they share no code. Although mailutils provide an imap server implementation, we have used dovecot in a production environment (around 300000 active users) and seems OK. Of course our users are used to POP services and they only use the imap server through a webmail. Dovecot has an interesting secure coding architecture. Its code is clean and is also well documented. > > Mike > -- Kostas Zorbadelos [EMAIL PROTECTED] contact: kzorba (at) otenet.gr Out there in the darkness, out there in the night out there in the starlight, one soul burns brighter than a thousand suns. _______________________________________________ Bug-mailutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-mailutils
