Ok. This is probably a stupid question, but... It's Sunday, so I'm entitled to one stupid question. :-) I've been using Qmail for many years (10), although only admining one myself for the past 3. I originally used Qmailrocks, and am aware of its shortcomings and issues, compared to Modern

Mike, If it is of any consequence. I have recently moved from a Fedora Core 7 machine that I had installed Qmailrocks on. I found that the upgrades were a little slow, limited documentation and I needed a couple of features that were not present. After looking at a range of different

Well I finally did it. I took the leap into Dovecot on my system. I followed instructions I found on a few different web sites for the installation and conversion. I ran through it on a test server and once I was comfortable with the process, I repeated it on the production server. Smooth as

Not a stupid question at all, Michael. I'm a little surprised we don't see this question more often. I'd like to add that with QMT there is any easy upgrade path, using the qtp-newmodel script(s) in QTP. The *-toaster packages are easily and safely updated on a production server, with
