Qmail is generally > considered to be quite secure. I've just installed qmail on my production server. It's a little bit of a leap from Sendmail in the way it handles everything - but it's a damn sight easier to configure (etc/sendmail.cf *shudder* ;) and introduces the Maildir format. Which is quite a bit nicer than the monolithic UNIX mailbox. Getting it all working with tcpserver and so on is quite fun ;) Does anyone know of a decent IMAP server which supports the Maildir format, however? I'm currently just using the qmail-pop3d daemon, and grabbing my mail with Netscape. However, I miss Pine... Is there a version of Pine which supports POP3? Or better, an IMAP server that understands Maildir?
