I've tried imap, but it's slow, and conflicts with pop3 (I'm using qpopper). I'm currently NFS mounting /var/mail, but as I understand it, this is not safe, and can result in loss of mail due to file locking problems. What reccomendations can any of you give me? The main server is 2.2-GAMMA (from early February), the shell server is 2.2-RELEASE TIA -- Troy Settle Network Administrator, iPlus Internet Services http://www.i-Plus.net
