I've used it for both and it's quite handy and easy to configure. Take a look at /etc/dovecot.conf to configure it, the file is heavily commented so that helps. You may also want to take a look at the Dovecot website WIKI for installation / doc / configuration. If all you want is to login using existing username on the server (ie. /etc/passwd), then you hardly need to change anything. Just enable saslauth: "service saslauthd start" "chkconfig saslauthd on" I can say I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to configure all this. RDB -- Reuben D. Budiardja Dept.
