Personally, I think it depeneds on a number of things, especially considering you may not have decided on Maildir/mbox yet. qpopper workes very well with sendmail on the other side. If you want to use Maildir, the qmail suite is probably best. If you'll be creating Unix users on that machine anyway, the sendmail/qpopper solution is pretty darn brainless to institute. But if you don't want a Unix user for each mailbox, qmail with the virtual users addon would probably be the easiest admin path. -Bill -- If a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, then what can I get for two hands in the bush?
