19 Maybe it is.. but I do think that having all the mailboxes for
20 wherever.com placed inside one directory tree is better then having them
21 all over the place!
22
23 eg:
24 user1@××××××××.com
25 another_user@××××××××.com
26
27 /var/spool/imap/users/u/user1^domain1^com
28 /var/spool/imap/users/a/another_user^domain1^com
29
30 That's even worst!

38 Cool. I've downloaded all the patches and the ebuild from the link you
39 provided. Will take a closer look into them. (I doubt I'll use your
40 shell script since it uses sendmail but heck, it sure as hell looks easy
41 the way that's done. Good On You!)
