Subject: Re: POP3 server for postfix

Hi Bruno,

can you tell me which of these will work when the recipients don't have unix
user names, just names set up in postfix (aliases) and in the pop3 server (+
passwords)? I had a quick look at UoW IMAP/pop3 server and that wants
unix user names. Wietse recently said that using cyrus with postfix
requires unix user names (although the cyrus documentation says you
don't) ... so I'm a bit lost at present.

Thanks
David
