First choice so far is postfix, but almost all the virtual hosting 'howtos' require an SQL database, or editing files by hand. The SQL part seems like an overkill for ~20-50 email accounts, the editing files by hand seems like a pain and requires me doing everything but I'd rather let people manage their own domains. Just curious on how everyone else does small/medium/large email hosting so that the users have an easy option to change passwords, manage their domains, quotas, vacation auto responders, etc. ? I've come up with posfixadmin as the answer so far, but am open to anything else or what do all the big guys use? ]Peter[ Been on qmail since before 5.0 [afaik], trying to get off it since 7.x, hoping 9.0 will finally be the upgrade with the all new shiny.
