Hi Jay, Thanks for picking up this thread. I want to implement a web-based email client so that I can avoid having to tackle the challenge of getting the SASL library working with my Postfix install. Since I'm building an email system for my very-dispersed family, I need remote SMTP capabilities.
If you (or anyone else) has any ideas about either a) how to integrate SASL with Postfix on OS X or b) any other web mail client that may not require PHP --with-imap I'd be very interested in discussing them. Unfortunately, I am all-too familiar with the links you provided. I actually got an email from Marc L. (of entropy.ch fame) yesterday, where he explained to me that it has been so long since he compiled PHP with imap support that he can't really offer me any help... :c[ So, it sounds like I'm the sole OS X/Darwin representative here...? -michael On Thursday, August 8, 2002, at 02:46 PM, Jay Goldbach wrote: > > There are a lot of resources on PHP and Apache, and some on IMP as > well.
