I don't believe he was, I believe he was asking a legit question. Saying one piece of software is better than another is an ambigous statement. Saying software A is better for high end installations which need power and flexibilty while software B is great for small business that don't have time/resources to waste on learning and administrating a server is a much more clear statement. >>> because (this is what I understand but I never use it) it's easy to >>> split physicaly the smtp (with anti-virus/anti-spam/etc...) server >>> and the imap server. >> Hmm, I don't see an advantage here. > The advantage is in this configuration we don't need huge server to > server both of anti-virus/anti-spam (basicaly write in perl, need lot of > resource) and imap/pop server. >>> And between the smtp server and the imap server we can use LSMTP (L >>> for Ligth) protocol.

The SMTP server(s) do AV/Spam scanning and then write the mail to the Maildir on the NFS volume, the IMAP server accesses the Maildir off the NFS share for the user. Less complexity == Happy Admins.
