I worked for several years with postfix+dovecot+postfixadmin. IIRC it was mostly based on this howto: http://bliki.rimuhosting.com/space/knowledgebase/linux/mail/postfixadmin+on+debian+sarge which is pretty dated, but postfixadmin itself (and the underlying tools, no doubt) is still maintained. It's pretty basic but working. You might consider trying one of "virtual hosting" packages out there. I then did and decided they were either too big or not mature enough (or both) and went with postfixadmin which did a rather small part of their common denominator but seemed mature. A partial list of the ones I then looked at: ispconfig web-cp dtc ispman vhcs gnuhh ravencore. Googling for most subsets of them will probably find others/reviews/etc. -- Didi _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
