You guys were so right. What an excellent http server/proxy. I used this very simple howto: http://kbeezie.com/apache-with-nginx/ I can probably dump a lot of apache config. I still need SSL on both servers even though only nginx faces the user? For imap proxy, nginx requires an HTTP auth server and I can't figure out what that refers to. I can stick with imapproxy there. - Grant
