Exactly, which is why I want to avoid NFS and use LMTP for delivery between the mailhub and the IMAP server.. > > c) these on different machines > > Now your getting silly. why? My Mailhub will be running on the firewall, processing incoming mail. The user's mailbox will be sitting on (potentially one of many) IMAP server systems (which may for some users also contain shell accounts etc).
