Ok if any of you guys are on plesk and want to patch qmail, I have
managed to get an archive from sw-soft with all of the patches which
they apply as default. This means you can re-compile with any
additional patches which you require. Drop me an email if you want a
copy. I have also convinced them to add a check user patch to their
next release.

I just installed the package from www.atomicrocketturtle.com
I then set it up to use their yum repository as well as the fedora legacy
repos. Worked well. I blocked kernel, php and apache updates, everything
else updated with no problems.
Many Thanks,

sorry this is a side track how did you update your system via yum, i tried
it in virtuozzo and it would not install basic things like GCC with out
conflicting with other packages, the rpm package itself inside virtuozo is
not the normal version and many things depend a new standard version of
rpm.
If this is too off topic please send me your experience to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] directly.

I have been working on plesk for two years, yes it has some bad points
users
love it. Simplifies life. Do you have any idea how your host installed
it
in
a vserver?
They didn't. As I said, my virtual server is via Virtuozzo (or whatever
they call it) produced by sw-soft. It's not running vserver.
The think I dislike most about plesk is the way it stops you from
upgrading
software (spamassassin would be an example), and if you make a custom
change
or upgrade, when they release the next patch, you can't install it
without
destroying and modifications to the system. For example, 7.1.5 is now
out,
but I can't upgrade without destroying my custom
qmail/clamav/spamassassin3
install, so I will just have to stay with 7.1.4 and address security
issues
by using yum to keep things up to date.
As for the 'cheap' server Vs expensive server (but divided).
I would rather have two AMD64 PC's, with hardware SATA RAID, lot's of
ram,
clustered to each other via fiber, than I would have one expensive
server.
It would still be cheaper, and something freak (such as a motherboard /
memory /cpu failure) would still not take it down. I imagine the
performance would be pretty much equal unless you were trying to run a
hotmail mirror!
Still, I'm stuck on a $40 VPS now so it's all speculation.
Many Thanks,
