I have been using the Courier Mail Server Suite (usually with MySQL as backend to store mail users) for about two years now on various mail servers, and I have been very pleased with it. It is feature rich and actively developed with an active community that seems to grow every day. Also, I like the idea of having smtpd, imapd, popd, mailing list manager and mail filtering[1] provided by the same developer(s). Also, Stefan Hornburg does a good job maintaining the Courier packages in Debian. Integration with spamassassin is trivial, however, integration amavisd-new is not (small patch by Martin Orr is required). Not a big problem, but maybe worth mentioning. [1] I like the maildrop syntax much more than that of procmail. maildrop is much easier to work with, IMO. -- Frederik Dannemare | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=Frederik+Dannemare http://frederik.dannemare.net | http://www.linuxworlddomination.dk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
