This is flame war material. Generally, I keep my hands off any UW software because the UW people are not very security aware. >What are peoples experiences/comments? Are the ssl variants worth using? I like Courier because it is one very flexible package and it does all variants that might be needed: pop/imap in both ssl and non-ssl. There is even an MTA which I have never looked at, though. As opposed to Cyrus, Courier uses a standard mail spool (in maildir format) which can be accessed by third-party software for debugging purposes. The author of Courier has a quite difficult ego, but since Courier mainly works, you don't have to flame him too often. Greetings Marc -- -------------------------------------- !!
