&gt;&gt;I'm in the process of replacing an NT4 / Exchange network with a *nix 
&gt;&gt;(Linux, Samba, &lt;mail server&gt;) backend, and I'm to the mail stuff now. 
&gt;&gt;It's going to be a Fedora setup, and I would really prefer to stick with 
&gt;&gt;RPM packages rather than source so that updates can be handled (as much 
&gt;&gt;as possible) via apt or yum.  I've used sendmail and qmail in the past, 
&gt;&gt;and would prefer to use qmail (don't get me started on sendmail), but 
&gt;&gt;I've not been able to find a qmail rpm.  Postfix looks like the next 
&gt;&gt;best thing, so I've been tinkering with it (2 config files so far, I 
&gt;&gt;love that) as an MTA.  Since they'll be moving from an Exchange world, 
&gt;&gt;and they're used to never having to delete anything (again, don't get me 
&gt;&gt;started) and being able to get access to the same 'picture' of their 
&gt;&gt;mail from multiple locations (office, home, webmail), I believe IMAP 
&gt;&gt;would be a better option than POP3.  They will have 3 servers when it's 
&gt;&gt;all said and done, one will be the primary file server and acting PDC 
&gt;&gt;(Samba 3 + LDAP), the other two will function as primary / secondary DNS 
&gt;&gt;and DHCP servers, and the secondary will also function as a BDC 
&gt;&gt;(slurpd).  In looking at available IMAP servers, it looks like 
&gt;&gt;Washington and Cyrus are the two main players.  The big advantage of 
&gt;&gt;Cyrus over Washington appears to be that there isn't a need for a local 
&gt;&gt;account, which isn't really a big deal since all mail users will have 
&gt;&gt;local accounts.  Any thoughts?  Should I consider Washington, or drive 
&gt;&gt;on with Cyrus?  Any other input / suggestions would also be appreciated. 
&gt;&gt; I'm looking at using a SpamAssassin / ClamAV combo for av and anti-spam.
&gt; 
&gt; 
&gt; Given your criteria, I'd say go with Postfix for the MTA
&gt; 
&gt; For the IMAP, go with Dovecot if you want simple (in other words, same
&gt; feature space as University of Washington IMAP). If you want a little more
&gt; enterprise-oriented feature set, and are willing to learn it, go with Cyrus.
&gt; 
&gt; later,
