[TriLUG] Imap software preferences

[Tanner Lovelace]

Hi folks,

Now that we have the ldap/kerberos server up and running (it will
be going into the rack tomorrow), it's time to turn to getting
the imap server up and running.  Cyrus imap was previously
suggested but after looking at it and setting it up once, I'm
not convinced it's the best idea.  If I go with one of the standard
imap servers, we could nfs mount home directories (on an internal
network so it's not going over the public network) and allow
everyone to use procmail to process their e-mail.  What I'd like,
however, is people's opinions on the various imap servers.  I've
run the washington imap server on my own server forever and am
very familiar with it.  I've also heard, though, many people
disparage it.  I know Courier imap uses the maildir format, but
that's about it.  Does anyone have any preference for imap server?
Speak now and forever hold your peace. :-)

BTW, it looks like we might have a replacement drive for the
imap server sometime soon.  More later about that.

Tanner
