Hmm..., I suspect autocad backup files here? It's that's what taking so much space? And if so how do you get rid of it?

Yes, you mean the "maildirmake++" package?

Anyway I think bincimap is very promising with its modular a-la DJB approach, next version will also work better with vpopmail. I think there is a myriad of checkpassword hacks out there, checkpassword-mysql, radius, pgsql, ldap, etc. And this is very cool. > The same setup works with courier-imap out-the-box against our LDAP > server with pam_ldap (courier runs on my box, binc on another cooker > box, all other pam services authenticate fine on both machines).

I have to fix this ugly hack, everyone is invited to help out. My philosophy is not to do endless fool proof tests in a closed environment before releasing a new software I have packed. If I did, there would be no point of continue improving it..., or work on it. This is especially true with bincimap. If I however got paid/fundings and resources it would be another matter. > I think, unless something improves soon, we will use courier to migrate, > we can always try binc again later ... When bincimap is stable enough I will use it in production for my own system, and also for another system I help maintain that has a pretty huge userbase. But I need Maildir++..., until bincimap has this, I go courier-imap for production usage. Chears. -- Regards // Oden Eriksson, Deserve-IT.com
