Postfix plays well with both of these, there should be no unexpected behavior whichever you choose. I personally think dovecot is easy to set up and simple to interface with postfix, so that's the way I lean. Dovecot may have other advantages, but the lazy admin factor weighs a lot. If you need client-side AUTH in postfix, you'll need cyrus as dovecot doesn't support that. So look at them both and pick the one that seems most comfortable to you. -- Noel Jones
