So any IMAP server will do. Any particular reason to pick Cyrus ? I've been using dovecot for quite a while now and I'm pretty happy with it. Marcus Rueckert (aka darix) has been providing high quality RPMs of dovecot since a while now: http://software.opensuse.org/download/server:/mail/ (there are cyrus-imapd packages there as well) Personally, I've been using a few IMAP servers in the past (Cyrus, Courier and dovecot). Not to start a flamewar, and Cyrus certainly has its supporters but I've found Courier to be extremely good though a little tedious to install, start/stop and such (the Courier suite has a performant and modular but somewhat unfriendly architecture). dovecot is very fast and easy to set up (and it's said to be the most secure).

Yes, I think you should really have a look at dovecot. cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _\_v The more things change, the more they stay insane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFE8HWnr3NMWliFcXcRAnFwAKCdGllwrxD0jd611490wlAxZqhf7wCeOI/t LH2fd75Wd0ybncxTdrxWgpE= =0pek -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
