- Original Message - From: "Bill Moran" I recommend squirrelmail. Unless you require some obscene feature-rich craziness (in that case, have fun installing IMP). I've used it with Postfix/Dovecot for a few years now with no trouble. Why is this discussion on hack...@? Couldn't s

Thx John for the information. Seems weird to me that FreeBSD still requires kernel mapping. There must be some performance hit due to the additional mapping which are not really needed (devices after all mostly deal with bus relative address space which is usually plain physical addresses unless th
