[bug-mailutils] pop3d/imap4d, config file location, virtual hosting

[Vegard Svanberg]

Hello.

1.  imap4d/pop3d appears not to support virtual hosting (one domain per
IP, users log in with 'username', not 'address@hidden') at this time,
hence in many configurations more than one instance of the daemons must
be run.  Is this changing?  (In some parts of the documentation it seems
possible to disable virtual domains at compile time, but I can't find
the docs on how to use virtual domains when/if it's enabled, does this
apply to imap4d/pop3d at all?)

2.  Using the configuration in #1, an option to specify a configuration
file is sorely needed.  ATM, the only(?) way to solve this is to specify
the arguments as command line arguments.  This is not safe when using
sql authentication and untrusted users are allowed to run 'ps'. 

3.  imap4d appears to launch pop3d automatically.  This is a problem
when being run from xinetd because xinetd supports binding a daemon to
an interface.  imap4d will be bound to the correct interface, but pop3d
appears to automatically bind to all interfaces.  Two options would be
useful here:  one to turn off the spawn of pop3d and one to (when not
run from (x)inetd) bind to an address.

4.  Will there be maildir support? :)
