It works if that is what you are wondering. Although a little different, I have been running Courier with Postfix and LDAP with Web-mail for almost a year.

LDAP could potentially be dangerous if the password goes over the wire in clear text. This of course is the default with LDAP. This is also the default in Courier and any web browser that connects to the Webmail server. > Are there any good stories? Horror stories? OPENLDAP seems very fast and reliable as long as your reindex the database every once in a while. But LDAP, is a nightmare to setup the first time with Courier if you have never worked with it or any other database. Squirrel mail seems easy to install, but it seems to be slugish with Apache-SSL 1.3.x. It seems all Webmail Clients use PHP which has had many cross scripting security problems. > Anything I should stay away from? PHP, managers, and maybe file-system quotas. Kernel quotas on the file-system, which I used for quotas, seem to be very unforgiving for gui clients. In fact, most gui client programmers assume that IMAP simply deletes mail. If all users where using ssh on the local filesystem, filequotas may not be an issue. But, my IMAP server moves all deleted mail to INBOX.Trash. The users access their mail from a gui client. File quotas in the kernel can cause problems if someone does not delete mail. For example, if someone doesn't put anything in the trash, the admin [you] will have to manually raise the quota before some clients will be able to delete mail. I spend too much time doing this. I need to write a daemon to do it. This is a feature of the "Delete = Move to Trash" IMAP configuration choice that I made, which so many users love to use. -- ********************************* *Theodore Knab * *Systems Engineer * *Washington College * *Maryland, USA * * --------------------------- * *My Desk: 410-810-7419 * *Fax: 410-778-7830 * ********************************* ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
