I don't think you may need vpopmail if you are going to run qmail-ldap. The
only type of administrative tools/clients you will then need is any client
that can interact with the LDAP server so as to manage the qmail users data
stored in the ldap directory. If you are a developer you may write your own
front end to access and populate the ldap directory with data for example if
you are comfortable with Java you may use JNDI to do the same.
Of course for qmail-ldap, you should first get to know LDAP. We use vpopmail
for easy administration of virtual domains, now when we run qmail with the
ldap patch most of the data required for virtual domains and accounts will
reside in the LDAP server, and you use "control/rcpthosts" and
"control/locals" files (this file will "also include all your virtual
domains"), you will not use "control/virtualdomains" file.

Subject: After Qmail - What next
Importance: High

Hello everybody,

I have installed qmail on Red Hat 8 and want to proceed further. My
requirements are

1. LDAP authentication
2. POP3 mail.
3. Web Mail.
4. Easy Admin Interface.

What are my choices in software. I am considering vpopmail (with LDAP
module) +  SqWebmail + vQadmin.

Will this combination satisfy my requirements ? Or is there any other better
choice available ?

Thanks for the help :-)
