[rhn-users] Postfix + Maildir + IMAP/POP3

[SSI - Benjamin Morel]

Thanks for your answer Lloyd, but I searched RHN for "dovecot" and "cyrus", 
and here are the results :
- Dovecot : "No packages."
- Cyrus : "cyrus-sasl : The Cyrus SASL library."

None of these two severs seem to be included in RHEL3 :(
