I am interested in setting up mailbox servers on UNIX 
workstations/servers. I have looked at IMAP2 and it 
seems quite capable. However, after reading the docs 
on IMAP2 I learned that every mailbox must be connected 
to a defined user on one of the mailbox servers. I regard 
this as a security threat. It seems that IMAP2 was built 
to work on small sites consisting mainly of workstations 
and not on larger sites with servers, workstations and 
lots of small computers.

Is there anyone out there who has experience of mailbox
servers in large sites (I am talking ten or more subnets
and tenthousand mailboxes).

Thanks in advance
