Hi, Thank you for the suggestions, I will look further into IMP and Qmail. Basically where I'm coming from: My company has been using Solaris with Netscape Directory Server (ldap server) and Netscape Messaging Server (email). Basically, I've been given the freedom to use FreeBSD instead so long as our mail service was ldap enabled. I guess you could say that I want to build a replacement for the Netscape servers. My research lead me to the conclusion that sendmail would do the trick, but that I was out of luck as far as a free imap/pop server was concerned. A look at the cyrus code convinced me that integrating ldap was fairly trivial. Wrapping the whole thing in SSL and a spiffy interface would pretty much complete the project, and I could transfer all my users in short order. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who would like to do this - if I am I'll just throw it together the best way I know how, but I'd rather make something other people have a use for too. From what I know of IMP (which isn't that much), it may well be the key to making a nifty interface for both end users and administrators. Again, thanks.
