(resending because of troubles on my end... my apologies if you get it twice) Folks, I'm in need of some big-picture advice re: running several virtual domains for web and mail services using FreeBSD. I'm currently running a qmail/FreeBSD "mail toaster" based on the excellent instructions at http://matt.simerson.net/computing/mail/toaster/. All is nearly -- but not entirely -- well with my configuration, and it's been such a long road to get things even to this point of stability that I am now second-guessing myself. If I were starting from scratch (and, to a great degree, I am -- the current config has only been up for a two weeks or so), what would you recommend from among the following options: * Stick with the qmail/vpopmail/qmailadmin/sqwebmail combo, but hash out the bugs. (Note that at this point the (small) bugs seem to be intrinsic to the way some of the software is written, and my next move would likely be to engage Inter7 [developers of qmailadmin] on a paid basis for a fix.) * Start over, moving to Sendmail and ... and what? (Looking for recommendations here). Ease of use for someone who's getting his feet wet in the Unix world is a consideration here. I have all the legal Exchange and Windows Server licenses I need if I get really discouraged... but I am sooooo looking for a way to avoid that route. * Another way? (Open to suggestions... whatever I implement has to support virtual web/mail domains, has to support web-based access to mail, and also has to support listserver software). * Related issue: I use iManager (web-based control panel and virtual domain software) on FreeBSD all the time at my employer's shop because Verio (our mail/web host) uses it on their FreeBSD machines. In looking through every iManager file (and yes, I downloaded everything as near as I can tell), I can find nothing that says the software is GPL or any other open-source license variant, yet I can also find no copyright notices. Only one contact is listed (Rus Berrett), and he hasn't answered an e-mail inquiry about the software. Anyone have any experience using this and/or does anyone know if it's available for use outside of verio? Many thanks in advance -- Happy Easter to all who celebrate it, and a happy Sunday to everyone else.
