I second John's advice... I've run UW IMAP and dovecot before coming to cyrus, and cyrus is far more scalable.... In the past its been difficult to set up, but now Redhat Enterprise Linux 4 (and a few other distributions) comes with cyrus RPM packages that make the job much easier. I can't comment on courier, but i think its also quite good.
I can also point you to an excellent guide to setting cyrus up together with postfix, a Mysql based authentication system and a web based admin. once you've got all that working, squirrelmail installs and runs easily: http://www.delouw.ch/linux/Postfix-Cyrus-Web-cyradm-HOWTO/html/ I recently completed setting up such a system, and it works beautifully. Finally, if you're really dead set on courier, Ralf Hildebrant's "The Book of Postfix" (a superb book!) has a chapter on "a company mail server" , describing how to set up a complete mail system based on Postfix, Cyrus Sasl, LDAP, Courier MailDrop and Courier Imap Regards, Ted Targosz On Mon, 2006-01-16 at 00:02 -0500, John Madden wrote: > > Does Cyrus use MySQL/PGSQL for the auth? > > I believe it can.
