What imap server is in Redhat 5, and are there any FAQ's or How-To documents for setting it up. Basically what I run now is spamassassin, sendmail, and dovecot on the system i am trying to replace..dovecot, sendmail, and spamassassin will all be present in RHEL5 as well.I am pretty comfortable with sendmail and spamassassin, is dovecot the best choice for an imap server. I have about 5 users on my team that use it.. Is there something better? Is there anything special i have to do to get dovecot (or whatever) installed?
FAQs/HowTOs for RH4 will be by and large the same for RH5 (In regards to above services). I imagine there will be some dovecot differences (since RH5 makes the break for dovecot 1.0), however I'd imagine it wouldn't differ hugely.
As for best choice of IMAP server, it depends.There is plenty arguments and reasons to choose one piece of software over another, the main IMAP servers would be courier-imap, dovecot, and cyrus-imap (in no particular order).
From what I gather, for a large organisation, courier or cyrus tend to hold up better than dovecot.
Courier wouldn't be as nice to setup as cyrus or dovecot.If you've a couple of hundred users, I would imagine dovecot covering your needs, if your into the thousands of users, then it may be worth investigating cyrus/courier.
