At Boston University we do both. We use preauthentication checking to determine which of the 10 mail servers someone's account lives on and reconfigure IMP dynamically to reflect the server involved. Failing that we have an IMAP-Proxy which should route them to the right place, albeit with a few more hops. The IMAP-Proxy is really there to handle external IMAP connections for our clients. -- Tobias Drewry Boston University -- IMP mailing list - Join the hunt: http://horde.org/bounties/#imp Frequently Asked Questions: http://horde.org/faq/ To unsubscribe, mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
