Actually, I am the only user who appreciates the benefits of IMAP, so I shall simply not mention it to clients. These are typically associate organisations, who need very basic mailing services. I will take up the matter of commisioning someone to patch an IMAP demon, and releasing it GPL. Time my company put mony back into gnu ;-) Once again, thanks.

I just read about Courier IMAP at http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/ You can also write your own custom userid/password validation program. Virtual mailbox support. ... There's also an authentication module that implements the vpopmail virtual mailbox implementation. It might be what you need. Good luck... Jeremy C.

I don't use IMAP, but I do use Exim and gnu-pop3d with a patch I wrote for virtual domains.

If you want to pay to have an IMAP daemon patched to work with virtual domains (separate passwd files and separate mail directories per domain), let me know. Jeremy C.

Virtual email hosting, with exim and IMAP
Folks, In a post 2 weeks ago, John Gonzalez gave links to a setup using vmailmgr and qmail, which allows Virtual email domains, cleanly. Ihave gone through the documentation, and wish to raise the stakes. I have two constraints to add: 1Minor issue, but any similar solutions using exim? I moved from sendmail to exim on our servers last year, and would rather not learn qmail. It is probably easy, but I am lazy ;-) 2Major issue. IMAP is required. vmailmgr does not handle IMAP, at least not yet. Users have no qualms logging in as [EMAIL PROTECTED] , do not need shell access, or pine, need a choice between IMAP and POP-3. In a pinch, they will contact me about changing passwords. We heed dozens of domains, but only a few users per domain. The names will clash, hence [EMAIL PROTECTED] required. I am not sticky about it being free, as long as it is a few $100. Of course, .debs that run on slink are appreciated. Thanks,
