Re: POP3/IMAP server using LDAP

["R.I.Pienaar" <rip@pinetec.co.za>]

I have done some simple patches to qpop to search for the user in the tree,
and bind as that user, if it passes it does a maildrop.

so there dont hve to be entries in /etc/passwd for my pop server, i am also
looking for a imap solution though.
