I hope (for your sake) that the rented server is not only dedicated but also *managed*! If it isn't you will sooner or later have to leave Plesk anyway and do the odd thing or another "on foot". It might have been a good idea to look at what's installed on a dediserver before signing the contract. But it isn't my job to lecture you on that. BTW: This isn't a FreeBSD issue. You will probably have more luck finding someone who can help you in one of the newsgroups with this subject. > and i don't have any idea to do it. There isn't really a routine to migrate from Postfix to qmail. This is partly because noone usually wants to do it and partly because the whole thing is quite complex. It would IMHO be something for an advanced user or a sysadmin. You could however talk to your ISP where you hired the server. They will usually (for a price) adapt the installation for you - if this isn't a managed server. So you could ask them to change the MTA for you. If you have enough experience, you can also do it yourself. Just remember that you *will* have downtime because of this. Regards Chris
