I am trying to figure out if I need avahi on my mail server. I see that POP3

advertise/discover. Does Dovecot work with Avahi and how do you get POP3 and
IMAP advertised?
And perhaps more importantly, what clients look for mail services this way?
avahi does NOT get routed to internet
since most clienst are not in the private network why would
someone advertise mail-services via avahi?
For clients on your local net.
Why are the services POP3 and IMAP in the Avahi database? try
ahavi-browse -b
Say a small business is running a local mail server, perhaps using
fetchmail to get their gmail accounts and such. And they have a bunch
of MACs in the office. How were mail clients discovering the local mail
server? Apple users like automagic stuff.
Note I have NOT used, and rarely agreed to support Apple systems since
the Lisa.
