I've heard good things about MDaemon myself, so I'm not necessarily trying to move you here Edmund. However, I did want to rebut re: your remarks about a lack of integrated AV and spam filtering. With qmail you can integrate AV and spam filtering, albeit not as easily as with Postfix. I know of one qmail install that is using SA and clamav. I was using RAV with qmail at another location, and have since moved to F-PROT. So it is doable. As far as manageability, with something like qmail-ldap user management is pretty easy. So don't count qmail out yet. :) --- Puryear Information Technology, LLC Baton Rouge, LA 225-343-3056 http://www.puryear-it.com Author of "Best Practices for Managing Linux and UNIX Servers" Download your free copy: http://www.puryear-it.com/manage-linux.htm
