I've switched from uw-imap to dovecot recently, and I'm quite pleased with the switch. Dovecot is configured using a plain text file, enabling and disabling features is a matter of editing the file and SIGHUP'ing dovecot, instead of recompiling like you have to do with uw-imap. You can run dovecot in daemon mode, or invoke it from inetd. I run it in daemon mode. Note that with dovecot you can easily configure it to accept plaintext on a given interface while forcing secure authentications on another. This may be useful in some cases, depending on network topology. -jav ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is there any way to disable default SSL support, without actually reinstalling cclient and IMAP with make variables WITHOUT_SSL or WITH_SSL_AND_PLAINTEXT. Sorry, no. UWash IMAP doesn't have a config file which might be able to override the compiled-in settings. -- -Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
