[olug] RE: [OLUG] IMP/Horde?

[Mike Peterson]

If and when you do get it working, could you write up a how to for it?
Does exim use mbox or maildir?

I have been testing e-smith from e-smith.org on a system.
It is a customized Redhat 7.0 with IMP/Horde, Backup, Samba, etc.
It uses qmail and imap.
But according to this list, exim is better.
I loaded IMP/Horde on 7.1 but do not have enough experience with imap, ldap,
and sql to get user accounts setup for it.

I now have a system in production using Redhat 7.1, Sendmail, and
squirrelmail.
But am interested in running exim, cyrus, mysql, imap, and horde/imp if I
hear good results.

Some people mentioned that they are running sqwebmail. Brian the President
was one of them.
I looked at the site but have setteled for now on the setup listed above
until I have time to test and try something else.

IMP is fairly straight forward to install.  I don't think the strange
system layout on a RH system will cause any trouble.

Of course!  You have the source :)

Not much.  The 20 (or so) user IMP setup at work has the horde DB at
just under 6 megs.  I've been running IMP for 9 months or so, but I
don't thing that'll make much of a difference.

I'm using PostgreSQL as the database, btw.

This is correct.

Many seem to be either sendmail or qmail specific, but Mailman works
well with Exim.
