We use courier-imap built under the OpenPKG portable package management
system where the logs are written to a package dependent directory so
they're easy to deal with.
One of the things I really like about courier is the use of authentication
daemons, similar to the way apache has multiple daemons, as this works
extremely well at ISP sites with thousands of users checking e-mail
constantly. Grep'ing yesterday's courier-imap logs on a system with about
7,500 users, there were 249,628 logins in 24 hours, primarily POP3.

The question is, why are politicians so eager to be president? What is
it about the job that makes it worth revealing, on national television,
that you have the ethical standards of a slime-coated piece of
industrial waste?
