Here is my questions: I wrote a introductory article on using imp with bsd for Daemon News. It's available here: http://www.daemonnews.org/199909/imp.html > 1)best MTA to use(sendmail, qmail) Use whichever you prefer. I'm familiar with imp installations using sendmail, qmail, and postfix. All work fine with imp, and each has their own merits beyond the scope of imp. If you choose qmail and implement the Maildir format, you'll have to use a patched imap server; qmail does not include one of its own. > vmailmgr? As I recall, vmailmgr is used for managing virtual pop3 accounts. It's highly recommended that you use imp with imap accounts (pop3 support is fledgling and lacks the features of imap). > 2)best authentication scheme(RDBS or other) > mysql? MySql works fine, as does ldap authentication.
