uw-imap got pretty weird, with Mark Crispin getting very, very upset and accusing people of stealing his university's code if they merely *pointed to* off-shore repositories where SSL patches were published and could be legally imported without running into US export laws. He had SSL hooks which he refused to publish, except for his university's internal use. The arguments got *weird*, and heated, and some of us were very grateful to be able to switch to dovecot and avoid the issues. David, have you tried dovecot as a "simple IMAP server"? _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
