I feel IMAP enabled....

What a fun week. I've been working to build a new mail system at InfoWorld to allow our Treo 600 users to have a good standards-compliant mail backend. Needless to say, being stuck with Notes mail servers doesn't work out very well when trying to use cutting edge technology. I've been running my own personal mail system this way for years now, but decided this was a good chance to try out some newer technologies.

My personal setup consists of Sendmail, SpamAssassin, Procmail, and UW-IMAP. This works great for a small number of users, but for a more robust system I evaluated a number of different options that wouldn't require local system accounts for each user, and that would let us do LDAP authentication. I finally decided on using Postfix, Amavis, ClamAV, SpamAssassin, and Cyrus IMAP. Things are working pretty well, but I'm still in tweak mode. More to come....
