Thanks in advance. > I've used both Cyrus and Courier for this sort of situation. Both work well, and both are efficient (I have a low volume server with Courier SSL-IMAP and ESMTP on a 486DX33 with 20 MB of ram). I know of one Cyrus system that supports tens of thousands of mail users. I use Courier now and haven't used Cyrus in a few years, so I'm not sure how current versions would compare, but I lean toward Courier. It's extremely flexible, but the documentation tends to lag behind its development. When I used Cyrus it was probably worse about that. http://www.courier-mta.org is its home. But if you decide to try it, install it from the ports system. You might want to read through their recent mailing list archives to get some idea of what bugs you can expect to encounter. - Bob > Michael Pelletier To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
