> > 3.1. POP / IMAP support? > about), Dovecot for POP3 and IMAP, and Roundcube for webmail. My servers use: - sendmail, I've not tried things such as qmail. One doesnt generally have to futz much with .cf files, (but its useful to look at & tweak the easy bits, even if some of the lower rules are magic not for mortals ;-) Sendmail uses .mc via m4 (I keep all my .mc in a single .cpp) http://berklix.com/~jhs/src/bsd/fixes/FreeBSD/src/jhs/etc/sendmail/common.cpp - /usr/ports/mail/openwebmail for webmail I'm happy with it, but I've not tried others. - /usr/ports/mail/popd /usr/local/libexec/popd (Installed but not tried popt-1.7_1 qpopper-2.53_5) With /usr/ports/mail/popd on 3 servers 1 x FreeBSD-6.3 popd-2.2.2a_4 2 x FreeBSD-7.2 popd-2.2.2a_4 I have definately received periodic data corruption, but never tracked it down to report it, I first noticed on multi meg gpg bins that wouldnt decrypt (prob one doesnt notice when people send eg pictures or .pdf or .wmv ) PS 1 I have notes on SASL with URLs to other pages. http://www.berklix.com/~jhs/txt/sasl.lmth & I run majordomo, 'cos long ago I got bitten by & reported a bug in mailman that would lock up a slowish server. http://www.berklix.com/~jhs/src/bsd/fixes/freebsd/ports/gen/mail/mailman/files/ PPS I guess maybe this thread might have better started on isp@freebsd.org, but too late to move there now I suppose. You've raised interesting questions, I look forward to reading what others use.
