POP3/IMAP RPM wanted



Hi all,

I'm not sure what to install on my Red Hat server for a POP3 and
possibly IMAP server.

I have a fair number of virtual domains all pointing to the same
IP number, but I've set up sendmail so that jamie@allofthem.com pipes
into "jamie"'s mail.  I don't need anything fancier than that.

1. cyrus-imapd-1.6.19-2.i386.rpm

Looks like it writes a lot of files, including a sendmail .mc file.
I don't speak m4 or mc or whatever it is very well.  But I'll do
this if it's best.

2. gnu-pop3d-0.9.8-2.src.rpm

Looks simpler but the docs look iffy...and it's a "contrib" I think
not an actual RedHat-approved RPM.

3. something else?

I've heard IMAP is not very secure (in fact I recall hearing that at a
KLUG meeting).  Due to protocol or implementations, I don't know.
Should I be concerned?
