Cyrus is a nice player in the field (still run it myself on some hosts), but it has some major drawbacks: - - proprietary mail storage mechanism (compared to MailDir/mbox et al.) - - slower than Dovecot, e.g. - - compared to other pop/imap servers, it does not implement RFCs as good as others (Dovecot is very good here, too) > David Lang HTH, Timo -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFMY7FUfg746kcGBOwRAlK/AJsELko4InWqRPWQg725pexJuyTKfACfTNio NSQQY24vTL62OSjPsoS8nTs= =OT+5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Please read the documentation before posting - it's available at: http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/ LinuxVirtualServer.org mailing list - lvs-users@LinuxVirtualServer.org Send requests to lvs-users-requ...@linuxvirtualserver.org or go to http://lists.graemef.net/mailman/listinfo/lvs-users
