I'll try and get a "survey form" produced so that people can enter up
information on the pop/imap servers they use - that will at least serve
as a starting point. Information collected will be something along the
lines of:-
Name of server product
Software type (commercial, free etc)
Software platforms (unix (varients), win etc)
URL for download or additional information
Protocols supported (imap4, other imap, pop3)
Is it a sealed server (like cyrus) or work on existing spool
(uwimap, pop3d)
Mail spools supported (mbox, mbx, maildir, mh etc)
authentication (need to expand this - modular, pam, unix, other,
sasl)
perceived as suitable for:-
< 1K users
< 100K users
< 1M users
> 1M users
ease of admin ?
logging?
general comments
Is this overlapping too much with data at the IMAP connection

I can set up a list easily enough - and even do it under the exim
domain, although I don't really want to link it to exim closely... this
is only loosely coupled to MTAs. Are there any other lists that this
would be too close to in audience - if so lets use them. However this
would need to be both MTA and pop/imap server neutral - ie not just a
support list for product X.
