Hi Michael,
Thanks for your quick response. I was suspecting that I might need
a backend
IMAP server to run with RCM but wanted to make sure it was an
absolute
requirement. I suppose I should have noticed the word "client" in the
description and that would have answered my question. lol
It seems that the server specs and bandwidth aren't going to be
that much of
a problem as we're going to be using a large datacenter and have
plenty of
servers setup in clusters. Finding a good, reliable IMAP server is
going to
be a problem it seems. I'll keep looking and, if anyone happens to
have any
recommendations, please feel free to forward them my way.
Thanks,
Anthony
Just to throw my hat in here - we use OS X's Postfix/Cyrus mail
server (or have for the past 3 years), and while it runs relatively
smoothly, it's lack of configuration power can sometimes tie our
hands and give us a grand headache. I'm not a strong supporter of
it, and have looked for a more robust alternative - especially
after fickle corruption from bootable backups, and other joys. The
bleeding edge version may have some of these tweaked out, just noting.
As far as I'm concerned cyrus is kind of the least worst of when
you're talking about ways to implement a large sealed imap server.
There are certainly gotchas, vagaries and things that bite you even
if you know it well. But thats just my opinion.
