For it to work reliably and scalably I'd recommend setting up Cyrus-imapd. It's a bit of a learning curve and you have to do some migration but it really does offer sharing of a mailbox simultaneously among 2 or more users. Took a bit of fiddling but I have a half migrated setup. That is I have sendmail delivering to plain old mbox in /var/spool/mail (using local pine clients) and on the same server delivering to some cyrus mailboxes. I did this by creating an /etc/mail/mailertable entry for cyrus.in.emusys.com.au and using /etc/aliases to redirect some mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] My intention is to use imap folders to store emails related to orders for EverythingLinux so that for a given order we can view all correspodence that's via fax or email - we can chose to use an email client to view just the email portion and I found squirrelmail suited to my task of browsing folders. -- ---<GRiP>--- ** ROOM FOR RENT $120pw (neg) near Newington Shops 525/401 buses ** Electronic Hobbyist, Former Arcadia BBS nut, Occasional nudist, Linux Guru, SLUG Secretary, AUUG and Linux Australia member, Sydney Flashmobber, Tenpin Bowler, BMX rider, Walker, Raver & rave music lover, Big kid that refuses to grow up.
