Hello,

after reading the mailinglist for quite a while, this is in fact my 
first posting:

I would like to setup a  new web/email server running Gentoo and 
this time I would like to use EXIM instead of qmail which I was 
using the last 8 years [1]. 

On qmail I was using the great vpopmail tools, allowing setting up 
easily domains and users [2]. If I understand the exim website 
correctly, exim is also supporting the vpopmail files, but vpopmail 
requires (at least on gentoo) the qmail package for installation.

Now I thinking about the best way to manage virtual domains and 
users with exim: I do not want to use mysql for this purpose, 
because the server is also running lots of websites and sometimes I 
am working on the mysqld as well and I am concern about the 
downtime of the mail service.

So, what is your oppinion how to handle virtual domains/users. Or 
should I stay with vpopmail and just ignore the qmail installation 
coming with it ?
