A fine idea. I use both. Of course, you will need to set up an IMAP server so that Squirrelmail has someone to talk to. I use Cyrus-IMAP. > I can think of advantages and disadvantages to each, but I would like to > know what anyone out there with a working knowledge of these two options > thinks. Postfix is very fast, very easy to configure, and very secure. I can't think of any disadvantage to Postfix. Cyrus-IMAP is probably the best enterprise-scale open-source IMAP server implementation. Unfortunately, this isn't saying a whole lot. It doesn't scale cleanly and SASL is a royal pain. But it can be made to work. Also, sieve is quite cool. Squirrelmail is a nice web mail client. Being from the PHP world, it's hardly hackproof. But it does have a lot of developers adding neat "gee-whiz" plugins. You might also want to consider horde/imp. I have written a Debian-centric whitepaper on using Postfix. You can find it at http://www.metaconsultancy.com/whitepapers/ There is also the beginnings of a Cyrus whitepaper, but it isn't anywhere near finished. Seeing as how we are both in Seattle, though, you could easily hire me to deploy a system for you. :-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
