If you all recall, I've failed this once before. They'll all do this. Personally: exim (actually, multiple exims, but I've a rather unusual setup) as MTA, cyrus as mailstore, MailScanner in queue-to-queue mode, and silkymail as webmail client. Unfortunately, depending on how you want to manage your users, cyrus is one of the "heavier" imap servers out there. I love it to bits but it can be tricky to get exactly right. You will need some scripting to tie your directory/authentication to cyrus quotas. You'll probably get the same story with most roll-your-own setups. There are a number of products that claim to be email "appliances" and you might look at those, depending on how much preexisting infrastructure you've got for managing virtual domains and users. -- jan grant, ILRT, University of Bristol. http://www.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/ Tel +44(0)117 9287088 Fax +44 (0)117 9287112 http://ioctl.org/jan/ Axioms speak louder than words.
