Some days ago I decided to configure some pop accounts (only used imap before) and ran into the /dev/random problem. I was lazy and simply set "allowapop:0" in /etc/imapd.conf. This is still Suse 9.2, do you know if the problem still persists in Suse 10.x?
Don't know. I had to use Cyrus on a SLES 9 Server for a customer but I can't justify the pain for my local 10.1 machine. I'm tolerating postfix, but if it gives me any more lip I'm going back to sendmail. My general opinion is that Postfix set out to solve all the problems of sendmail and created a whole new set of problems in the process. Cyrus attempts a unified approach to delivery, and if they can make it a little easier to install, and incorporate the saslauthd part, the virus scanning, the spam scanning it would be great. But by the time you add up postfix, amavis, spamassassin, vscan(of some variety) cyrus, and sieve scripts, you have a very difficult install. Throw in ldap, (or worse, some off-machine authentication) and it gets nasty. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
