ok, i'll switch to using dmail.

speaking of features that cause problems, the feature of uw-imap that will 
let users login as User or USER or user bites me on a regular basis.  we 
use squirrelmail and have some plugins that do vacation/procmail setup and 
it uses ftp to do that, so if they log in as User, then the ftp doesn't 
work :-).
