Hi,

Thanks for your reply.  What exactly are the security
holes associated with PHP3?  We are thinking of using
it as the language for generating all of our web
content, so, is it a risk there, just running on a web
server in a DMZ, where it doesn't access any other
recources.  Or, is the risk just in having PHP access
the IMAP server?

BTW, the Horde php thing supports both POP and IMAP, I
just neglected to mention this.

thanks,
-vance
