Hello !Dovecot is compatible with my hosting project (domain technologie control, available at http://www.gplhost.com/?rub=softwares&sousrub=dtc), so I've tried once or twice to make it work. Nothing special about it, except that like it says, it seems to be fast. A lot faster than Courier.
The only reason why I don't use it in production is because there is NO WAY of making it saying how much bandwidth is taken by each of my customer. With Qmail, Courier or Postfix, I wrote very small package to be able to record the traffic usage per users. With Dovecot it was not possible to write it. A friend of mine wrote them about it, it might change in the future.
Apart from that missing functionality, Dovecot seems to be very good. Thomas mimo wrote:
