The "fix" for PHP (and thus, vqadmin) is to enable "short open tags"
(not just tags) in php.ini.
-- background: used to be, you could open a PHP statement with "<?"
-- but that syntax was hijacked by other languages, like XML -- so now
you have to use "<?php" insead.
The problem for many people is that they think of this as a MAIL problem
(more specifically, a QMail problem), when in fact, it is a WEB problem!
Thus, people often update php.ini, then restart QMail (qmailctl
restart)... and complain that it didn't fix anything. (Does it help your
/motorcycle /when you get the *car *tuned up?)
INSTEAD, update your file (*/etc/php.ini* on CentOS 6) and insert (at
the location of your choice) the line:
short_open_tag = On
And then restart APACHE! (service httpd restart).
_*NOTE:*_ Plenty of QMail users run on hosted systems -- and in many
cases, this prevents them from accessing /etc/php.ini... in those cases,
you'll need to enable short open tags in an htaccess for each folder you
need them run in.
_*FINALLY:*_ I am of the understanding that the vqadmin AND squirrelmail
issues are both also solved by using more up-to-date versions... which
we're getting to!
- I'm not POSITIVE about vqadmin, but I do know for sure that
squirrelmail fixes PHP compatibility in version 1.4.22 (the current version

I didn't have time to track down the issue, all I can say is php53 broke
my installation. I also didn't like the fact that VQadmin never worked
correctly.
My Postfix installation works perfectly for my needs and so do the
administrative tools, and web based applications created for it. YUM
works without issue and hasn't broken anything yet when updating. That's
what I need.
I really like QMail and didn't want to change, but it was the prudent
thing to do.

Agree that postfix is reliable. I am also running some EDM servers and all i
need
is a fast light-weight MTA. So my choice is postfix with dovecot. No antivirus
and
antispam. Just SPF and DKIM. Once any campaign is done, i will just shut it
down to
prevent any security breech, if there is any. With the knowledge of installing
QMTs,
postfix is much easier.
With a 2mbps dedicated bandwidth, i can send 250k emails each about 10k to my
registered
users within 4 hours.
But I still wouldn't want to implement postfix as an enterprise email solution.
