Topic: Cyrus mail server
Keywords: Network/Email
Cyrus is an imap and pop server aimed at closed environments. That is to say that the users will not have any access to the mail server other then by imap or pop protocols. This allows Cyrus to store the mail in a much more secure manner and allows for easier management of larger installations, and I highly recommend it.
Cyrus is not GNU licensed but is relatively free, and available from: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/imapd/. There is also a set of add on tools for Cyrus available from: ftp://ftp.hr.vc-graz.ac.at/cyrus-tools/.
