Second, is there a way to strip headers generated internally, so to speak, on outgoing mail? At the moment, what I have is along the lines of "received from mike.localnet for fred.localnet ... received from fred.localnet for localhost ... for several lines ... mail then heads
Every jump from one server to another inserts at least a received header. That is correct.
out to my isp. Outgoing mail is being fed into and out of amavis which generates another layer of headers.
Well, if outgoing mail is scanned by amavis, it makes a report on that. However... amavis is configurable in /etc/amavisd.conf, and you can select what headers it writes, and what it considers local domains, etc. Check: # Add X-Virus-Scanned line to mail? $X_HEADER_TAG = "X-Virus-Scanned"; # Leave empty to add no header $X_HEADER_LINE = "by AMaViS snapshot-20020531"; However... if you are seen repeated headers, it is because your mail is scanned at every jump, which is safe, but redundant.
Third, I'm currently using the standard-issue imap that comes on the SuSE disks. Is this one OK?
There is also cyrus-imapd
It seems limited to mbox format (perhaps not?) and by the time a folder gets around 700 messages (easy on this list) things seem to wobble a little when reading the stuff in Mozilla mail.
:-) Your mail makes #5394 in my mbox file for this list, at a size of 20 megabytes for the file. But of course, I'm using pine on a local mbox file, not imap... however, mozilla is a certainly slower than pine. Perhaps it is a lot worse over a network connection. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
