[vchkpw] vpopmail sans qmail.

2006-12-15 Thread Darrel O'Pry
I'm currently considering replacing qmail in my mail systems. I was wondering if anyone had tried vpopmail with postfix or exim and what their experiences were. I'd like to make the mail server change without changing my user management tool set. I've got too much tied to vpopmail. .darrel.

I'm less concerned about the smtp end of the equation. I'm more interested in the deliver half of the equation. After all that is what vpopmail plays a part in, and that is the part of the system I hope to keep. I do radius and ftp authentication against it. Currently I use vpopmail with mysql.
