Personally I would prefer to stick with Apache or (ideally) to make the package work with both depending on which one is available. Nginx is great, but most shops I work with use Apache and know it well. It works and they don't want to switch.

(Long term - this isn't going to happen over night) Note, http related .qt. packages are not part of the 'core' (operational) QMT components. A QMT host can function fine without any of these packages (e.g. qmailadmin, vqadmin, isoqlog, etc.). I'm not suggesting we drop http functionality. Far from it. I'm merely suggesting that nginx might be (is likely to be) more suitable in the future as a http server component for QMT than apache is. nginx is very efficient, and much easier to configure. The ease of configuration may likely (imo) pay dividends down the road. I already run SquirrelMail on its own (virtual) PHP server, augmented by an nginx (virtual) (reverse-proxy) web server. It works quite nicely, and separates the webmail component entirely from the base mail server. I'm under the impression that fastcgi can run qmailadmin and vqadmin (C stuff) as well as PHP code. If that's indeed the case, other QMT components could be adapted in a similar manner. Of course, separate hosts wouldn't be required. It would just be an option which allows separation (and scaling in a big way). So what are your thoughts? Thanks. -- -Eric 'shubes' --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: qmailtoaster-list-unsubscr...@qmailtoaster.com For additional commands, e-mail: qmailtoaster-list-h...@qmailtoaster.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: qmailtoaster-list-unsubscr...@qmailtoaster.com For additional commands, e-mail: qmailtoaster-list-h...@qmailtoaster.com
