I went through this same decision process a while ago and ended up with the following choices: Exim base mail app. - I wavered on Qmail, but really didn't like it much, partly due to the license obstructing binary distribution and partly due to the configuration - the way it uses multiple hidden files for managing aliases is a pain and just plain daft imho. Courier for IMAP - I looked briefly at UW, but this didn't seem to solid on the security side from what I read; I also looked at Cygnus and installed it briefly, but I really didn't like the way it uses its own system for storing mail as I like to be able to work with the mail locally on the server using Mutt if I need to - too proprietry for me, if that's the right word! Procmail and Fetchmail fit in with this nicely if needed. Procmail I use, and there are a couple of accounts I use Fetchmail to pull mail in from. Webmail I've not sorted yet. I did take a look at Squirrel mail a while back, but haven't done a full evaluation yet. Anyway, summary - Courier IMAP would be my recommendation. -- Paul Tansom: - contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] for more information Internet and Intranet Solutions -- http://www.aptanet.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
