This of course requires a lot of more functionality, eg. handling subscriptions, authentication (to the actual server) and misc configuration stuff. My current ideas can be seen at: * http://oss-qm.metux.de/index.php/9forge/mailfs-ng What do you think about this ? cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
