Incoming works. You just have to do a lot of configuration to get it to work.

To the specifics:

- Forum replies. Though (I think) the replies end up correctly with the forum it is still an issue how to deal with out of office replies and things like that.

- Direct picture upload. First of all you have to have tcllib installed. Then you need to make sure the mime types work correctly and preferably delete all the stuff that is currently in OpenACS 5.2. Then you need to write your own incoming mail procedures for photo album and use the latest switch to upload files as content items. Serious suggestion: Don't touch it until 5.3 is out (file upload using mail is just to flacky and I only succeeded in special occasions)

- This should be easy, if you write the according callback

- Again, these need their own callbacks and an entry in the prefix mapping table so acs-mail-lite knows which callback to call. Beware, this is still fairly untested code due to lack of demand and therefore resources.

Either way, use postfix, works like a charm (and all new documentation does assume postfix).
