Re: mail server from source saga continues....

As I mentioned then you want to look at Uni of Washington's Imap server. You can 
 look thru' and the best way to compile it would be to compile it as RedHat 
Linux 7.2 I don't think that 7.3 is that invariably different so as to choke the 
compilation.

As I also mentioned that Sendmail is a system that makes use of the mbx format 
which is pretty unreliable, one big file that has all you mail, if that gets 
corrupted kiss most of you mail good-bye. So working with the fact that Sendmail 
doesn't support Maildirs and you want to use mbx formats and Sendmail then by 
all means work with UW-imapd/pop3d its reliable. That is your solution. Qpopper 
is indeed a good pop3 server.

If you decided that you want to use a more reliable mailbox format such as 
Maildirs then firstly do some research on Maildirs, choose a better product than 
sendmail, such as Exim, Qmail or Postfix and then find a imap/pop server that 
supports maildirs such as Courier-Imap.

	Cheers,
