Unless you've already done so, look around at other packages as well. IMP (http://horde.org/imp) is well loved by some and loathed by others. We use Squirrelmail (http://www.squirrelmail.org/) because it's so damn simple to get up and running. I've never looked at sqwebmail, m'self. > 1) Can I somehow configure sendmail to deliver to > maildirs I create? As it happens, sendmail does not know anything about mailbox formats, maildir or otherwise. Sendmail is the MTA, and launches a separate program to append a message to a mailbox. By default it uses something called "mail.local" which exists in some form on pretty much every unix box on the planet. But the sendmail documentation even recommends use of Procmail for local delivery (http://www.procmail.org/). Some details on mailbox formats are at http://www.ii.com/internet/robots/procmail/qs/#mailboxFormats It has been widely held for some time that the universe is held together with duct tape and procmail. Procmail even knows how to deliver mail to maildirs. Have a look at the procmail list archives for (repeated) discussion of it. You will also likely enjoy the widespread availability of procmail-based spam control systems. -- Paul Chvostek Operations / Development / Abuse / Whatever vox: +1 416 598-0000 it.canada http://www.it.ca/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
