It differs from other IMAP server implementations in that it is run on "sealed" servers, where users are not normally permitted to log in. (Direct quote from one of their web pages.) 2. It doesn't work with Berkeley mailbox format. That said, it does have a lot greater focus on security than the UW server appears to have... The only other non-commercial imap server I know of is Courier (see http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/). But again, this doesn't handle the Berkeley mailbox format but wants things in Maildir mailboxes. Also, its not in the Ports collection. -- Greg Lewis glewis@trc.adelaide.edu.au Computing Officer +61 8 8303 5083 Teletraffic Research Centre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
