Arnt and Ahbijit know more about the email RFCs than probably anyone else on the planet. Arnt has been involved in writing several RFCs himself. Aox is blazing fast and your mailboxes scale as large as you want. Millions of emails in a single mail folder is not a problem. It's also really nice that it handles deduplication of your mail at several levels.
Thanks, I've never heard about that project, imap was cyrus, courier or dovecot for me (I run the latter).
The dovecot developers claimed in various mailing list threads, that a SQL based backend would not make sense, not even performance wise. Interesting to see a different approach.
What irks me is the FAQ entry claiming "If you have trouble with user authentication, edit the pg_hba.conf to allow trust or md5"... I - don't think that this is a good idea?
Trust is not a good idea, in my opinion. But I know that some people disagree with me, and I have better things to do than discuss the issue with them.
MD5 is fine, I think. If you allow randoms from the entire internet to connect, allowing MD5 won't hurt you much more. If you restrict connections to e.g. your own IP addresses using a packet filter or firewall, MD5 definitely will not hurt you.
