Faster machines can handle larger boxes; likewise, tollerance of the mail client (in there preferences on how long to wait) can affect how big the mailbox can get before there's a problem.. I have heard of pop/smtp-only servers, but they were running NT. I've never seen anything really optimal under Unix geared for the more demanding mail environments of some of our users. [We _are_ alpha testing the one I wrote now with a select group of people on our own system, with good luck so far, but we still have some technical/political hurdles to jump over, ie mail forwarding on a box that won't/can't see people's home directories and .forward files..] -- Jason Fesler jfesler@calweb.com Admin, CalWeb Internet Services jfroot@calweb.com I like my Usenet over ice, please. http://www.gigo.com Disclaimer: My /dev/null can beat your /dev/null any day.
