This year we would like to replace this solution with a Perdition implementation using NIS. Anybody have comments on perdition?
Yanik,
I'm currently ready to roll out a new setup that incorporates perdition. I've been testing it using only secure POP/IMAP connections and it has been working fine. I have a much smaller user community so my reasons for using it is a temporary migration - I'm splitting mail services across multiple machines and am changing the name of the POP/IMAP server and thus don't want to force everyone to change their settings overnight. Eventually I'll switch it off. We currently don't have a big enough load to split our users across mutliple underlying pobox machines. So, I can't comment on it's use as a permanent gateway/load balance setup which I assume is what you want to do. From what I read in my research looking at POP/IMAP proxies, it seemed to get good feedback from real users.
cheers,
