Charles, Not to throw a wrench in your wheels, but have you considered changing around your whole back-end system? It's too late for me (we just switched to Imail *YUCK*), but if I had everything to do over again, I think that Cyrus would be the obvious choice. It's got support for both POP3, IMAP, and quotas. It's got all the popper features that you're used to (maybe not bulletins, I've never used those), and with the IMAP support, webmail would be a breeze (much better than doing it through POP3). About the only disadvantage I've seen with Cyrus, is that it's designed to work on a closed system. You would need to treat your mail server as a remote server, even if you're running a client on the local machine. Anyways, I thought I'd comment, -Troy PS: When I did switch from Qpopper to Cucipop some years ago, there were a few problems initially, but they went away quickly. When implementing webmail, I switched (rather stupidly) to the UW Imapd and popper. ** -----Original Message----- ** From: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG ** [mailto:owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of spork ** Sent: Thursday, June 01, 2000 1:46 PM ** To: Sumbry][ ** Cc: lambert@cswnet.com; freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG ** Subject: Re: Cucipop port/source ** ** ** I just gave cucipop a quick trial and it just about cut the load on the ** machine in half.
