Re: [webmin-l] Virtual Pop3 Server.

[Alan D. <We...@Om...>]

Grant,

Check out Dovecot.  It is primarily an IMAP server, but it does POP3,
and I believe it meets all of your requirements.  It is the default
POP/IMAP server in all current Red Hat-based Linux distributions, and it
is the default server supported with Virtualmin Professional, so it is
the best choice to work with Webmin and Usermin.  It also should work
perfectly with all webmail programs (including OpenWebmail), since by
definition they are usually IMAP-based.

For more information, see www.Dovecot.org and wiki.Dovecot.org.
