We was looking over DOVECOT recently, but just wondered what you guys thought of that and others that are out there. Thanks :) Dovecot is good but so we also use Courier happily. I haven't found an overriding reason to use one over the other - they both just work and can authenticate against different sources. Anything to just get people off Pop3 servers! I can second both Dovecot and Courier. I have used courier to deal with the email platforms of various ISP's and other clients and it has always fitted in very well, mostly due to it's very flexable authentication backend. It's proxy support can also make migration trivial. I'd also mention Cyrus. Ok it's a bit of a black box solution and not as straightforward to administer as the others but it handles shared folders really well and has a very powerful set of ACLs which is why I've seen many of the groupware type mail products chose it for a backend. Cyrus I can also second, mostly as a solution for office email, it works very well in that situation thanks to the above mentioned ACL support on shared folders. However it not using standard maildirs can be another pain to migrate away from. However if the office thing is what you are looking for you might want to think about groupware solutions and what IMAP server can fit in best with those. Hope this has been helpful :) Thanks very much guys, will be sure to checkout the alternatives suggested. :) -- Andrew Alexander Barber ___ Scottish mailing list Scottish@mailman.lug.org.uk https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish

[Scottish] Freenode Group
Hey everybody, I am considering registering ScotLUG as an official group on the Freenode Network. It would mean that Freenode are our official home for IRC. Freenode fit the job well, they were set up to aid communication between Free and Open source projects. I would say a LUG group is a project and IRC aids our communication within the group. We are often over 50 people at just about every hour of the day, with many active at all sorts of times. Freenode seem to be doing a good job serving us and I doubt we will be changing in the foreseeable future. Anyway... features of it being a group? There ain't too many.. it just means we are enforcing freenode as our home and we also should get shiny group hostcloaks. Normally these come in the form of; [EMAIL PROTECTED]/$nick or [EMAIL PROTECTED]/pdpc.supporter.$donation.$nick (for people whop have donated money) where $nick is your master nick (find out what it is with /msg nickserv info $nick it is number one in the list). Do we have any comments on me doing this? AndrewB ps. If it were not for the IRC channel I would not know when to arrive at the pub! ;-) ___ Scottish mailing list Scottish@mailman.lug.org.uk https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish

Yeah it is on the openly available theme that they both use.

Hey all, I have been playing/theme-ing with Planet today out of boredom, and have made a theme for the ScotLUG planet, should you want it. You can see the theme at http://andrewbarber.homelinux.org/planet/scotlug/ The main reason I was playing with it was cause I was creating a planet for a site I use, that can also be seen http://planet.libervis.net/ if you are interested. Also could I be added to the current planet? AndrewB ___ Scottish mailing list Scottish@mailman.lug.org.uk https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
[Scottish] HostCloaks
Hey all. Has ScotLUG ever considered registering itself as an official group on Freenode? If we do we could get funky host cloaks like [EMAIL PROTECTED]/nick . I would do, but I do not think I can register multiple groups and I have already got a TH one. Just wondered if you lot knew of it or had considered it. http://freenode.net/group_registration.shtml AndrewB ___ Scottish mailing list Scottish@mailman.lug.org.uk https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish

It was great, and is a lovely flat screen CRT. http://lodge.glasgownet.com/~bagpuss/G500/ It has a slight glitch in that the picture has shifted an inch to the left, leaving it looking a compressed on the left, and a gap on the right. I'm sure it can be fixed, but I don't know how. It's free to a good home on Thursday 21st evening, if anyone wants it.
