Re: Mail Servers... less OT :-)

["Chris Bond" <chris@xxxxxxx>]

Im a sendmail man but we use standard imap on top of sendmail and procmail
-
works very well for the solution you need.  For example, o2hoster has
a very
similar setup - the procmail side - but we do use a few custom sendmail
bits
for that instead.

Kind Regards,
Chris Bond
