Hello, I use qmail+vpopmail+sqwebmail+qmail-scanner+qmailadmin+daemontools and it works perfectly. All of this fine programs you can install from CD or make it from /usr/ports . Commercial support and a lot of documentation is available on http://www.inter7.com, the guys who wrote some of the software. Oter sites are: http://qmail-scanner.sourceforge.net/ http://www.qmail.org/ http://pobox.com/~djb/daemontools.html http://www.enderunix.org/isoqlog generates HTML Statistics All questions you made a solved by this software, you can even configure a default domain, so not all accounts need the domainpart. Not to mention that quota on mailboxes is supported, a mailinglistmanager will be installed too and you can configure everything over web. mbox stores all emails in one file maildir is a directory where every email is a single file.
