[TriLUG] Email Setup

[Steve Hoffman]

Thanks for all the suggestions so far...I'll look into that binc, I've
also found "Dovecot" but the  only way to get multiple passwd files is
to use the beta version...yuk!  I'd prefer to just drop in an IMAP
server to setting up a whole new environment, but sometimes i just
have to bit the bullet.  I'm setting up a dummy server this weekend to
reproduce the environment and I'll probably end up trying a few of the
different suggestions.

Please keep them coming!
