 That's pretty much off-topic but for anyone interested just in web
 mail systems and less so in holy wars & stuff: don't worry, it is not
 that bad. It is not bad at all, actually :)

 Hadn't you mentioned specifically RoR (or any other of the buzzwords/
 newcomings) I'd have taken your opinion as a warning (aggresively
 voiced, but still a warning about security -- a useful thing to
 have).

 What you've written, however, is pretty unbalanced. You made it
 difficult to consider it 'useful' or 'informative'. It is more of
 misinformation than information.

 But let's not discuss it here, it's Dovecot list.
