Hello all. Please forgive me for getting a little off topic. If you think your reply is something that does not interest others, please feel free to reply to me directly.
I am working on building up a new machine with the intention of migrating my current mail server to this new one. I say it's a little off topic, only because it has more to do with the actual MTA than with TMDA, but TMDA will definitely be a key player in this system (as it has been for over a year on the old system) and I am looking for some feedback from you so I can lean in the right direction. On my old machine I've been using qmail and dropping mail into the original mbox files in /var/spool/mail just like sendmail used to do. The client machines (running Outlook) make their connection via POP3 and download all their mail, and delete messages from the server. With the venture of building this new machine, I am faced with the possible advantages of switching to an IMAP system and was interested in hearing from people who might not mind sharing their opinions about why they chosem POP3 or IMAP, whether they use mbox files or Maildir, and which MTA they prefer. To give you a heads up on the scale... this particular server only supports a couple dozen users, and will run Red Hat Fedora on a Celeron 566 with 512MB Ram and 80GB IDE Disk. About two thirds of the users will be using TMDA, so I think the key here is going to play into which system will TMDA work best with, and most efficiently. I have been thinking about leaving qmail and going to Exim, but I haven't given Courier or Postfix enough consideration yet. Any feedback and/or suggestions would be really appreciated, and again if you don't think your response is relevant to the TMDA list, please reply to me directly. Thanks very much.
