1.) I think of switching some of my users from pop3 to imap ... Matthias you wrote about courier-imap ...
My questions: - any experience with imap on qmail? - do I have to switch the whole thing to imap, or can I run pop3 and imap parallel?
you can run them both; imap hasn't much to do with qmail. for it you need a different app, for example courier-imap.
- what's about security with imap? (ok ... I know pop3 does not have any either)
same, the password goes clear text, but you can use imap over ssl. courier-imap knows them all (iirc), i.e. imap, imaps, pop3, pop3s.
- are there different distributions of imap servers? (which one fits into qmail with vchkpw)
uh, on a Linux boxen setup I'm made I put courier-imap with plain qmail.
2.) Another theme is about virus scanners in mailer daemons. I've read an article about virus scanners which can be implemented directly into the postfix system ...
Any experience with virus scanners for qmail?
<shameless plug> we have one, actually several for different unices and MTAs (including postfix and qmail). it's called RAV, and you can get it from http://www.ravantivirus.com/ </shameless plug> I've heard good things about sophos (spl?) and I know AVP has a version too. -- teodor
