I use apache-php3-1.3.6+mod_ssl-2.2.8, mysql-3.22.22,
imap-uw-4.5, qpopper-2.53, procmail-3.13.1 and
ispell-3.1.20 (all installed from the ports). IMP uses
the local UNIX password file for authentication and
writes the users files in ~home/mail under their UID so
its almost like a web-pine in functionality, it uses the
mysql for the addressbook and your personal settings
(e-mail, signature). I use the sendmail configuration
that comes installed on the 3.2-RELEASE and found it to
be a seamless integration, I can use my pop3 just fine
(IMP is using IMAP). I did however have to be careful
in my appche.conf in respect to directory permissions
i.e....
<Directory "/usr/local/www/email/config">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order deny,allow
deny from all
</Directory>
I only have 7 users on this machine, but they are fairly
abusive and have yet to report any problems that we
haven't been able to sort. I have heard that IMP
consumes alot of system resources under even a medium
workload, but this came from a person using the *cough*
*cough* NON-UNIX - UNIX like operating system, who knows
what a properly configured UNIX machine could yeild.
My IMP interface can be veiwed at www.slipmat.net/email.
