If you -are taking source from CVS, you will need to have libtool, automake, and autoconf -installed to help contribute. See the file 'INSTALL' for (generic) installation -instructions.
\ No newline at end of file +This package contains a POP3 server and a simple replacement for `/bin/mail'. +An IMAP4 server is being worked on. These applications are tied around a +central library that handles all mailbox activity called libmailbox, which is +GPLd (See COPYING). If you want to use this in your own programs, see the +examples subdirectory. + +This software is part of the GNU project and belongs to the Free Software +Foundation. + +Why use this package? +===================== + +Most POP3 servers load the entire email box into RAM and deal with it +there. This server, instead, creates an index in RAM of all of the messages +in the mailbox, allowing for quick access. You can expect this server +to use approx 750kb base code (on IA32) + 32 bytes per message indexed. + +How to install +============== + +Please see the INSTALL file in this directory. + +Where to report BUGS +==================== + +Please report any bugs to <bug-mailutils@gnu.org>. We encourage sysadmins +who will be using this package to subscribe to this list by sending an email +to <bug-mailutils-request@gnu.org> with the word `subscribe' in the body of +the message. |
