Why would you want Mailbox over Maildir is beyond me. I've used
qmail-ldap from nrg4u.com with excellent results before. Why would
anyone would use a relational database over LDAP for email acct storage
is also beyond me. It just does not make any sense once you realize
LDAP's advantages.

qmail on debian to qmail on freebsd

2008-11-11 Thread Sollunga S
Hi all 

Greetings to all, this is my first time installation of freebsd, i am going to 
use this installation for my mail server obviously qmail+ldap. I have a bit of 
fear to go ahead on it, can anyone clarify please?

Previous Qmail installation is on debian 3.x and the installation is based on 
http://www.shupp.org/toaster/,

Now i want to move to a better hardware and ofcourse updated user friendly and 
uptodate OS. here i opted for freebsd and qmail 1.03 along with this i want to 
meet users addressbook issue, so i thought of going behind ldap and mysql, 
(guide me if i am wrong). My doubts are earlier the Mailbox and the cleartext 
vpasswd are bit scaring me, so i would like to use mysql in place 
without disturbing any of the users mail addresses, ( i have close to 32gb of 
data's in mailbox's and some mailing list+forwards). also would like to procure 
password change option securely. How can i make this migration smoothly with 
the help of freebsd?

please
