I prefer Courier-imap because it uses Maildir storage while Cyrus uses something similar in that it stores each message in a file, but Cyrus also maintains index files which can get corrupted. We have several systems running courier-imap with 6000+ mailboxes on a single server without problems. Bill -- INTERNET: bill@Celestial.COM Bill Campbell; Celestial Systems, Inc.

See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime.'' -- Frederic Bastiat, The Law
