I'm trying to set up a new web/mail/etc. rack server to replace my current aging rack rental and I've hit a roadblock: vpopmail segfaults when I use it.

The new machine is an AMD64 but we're treating it as an x86. I have completely sane use flags and cflags... going for stable rather than hotrod. The other big difference from my current server is that the hosting company put a gentoo-hardened kernel on there... don't know if that's a problem.

I have put in a bug (149267) on the vopopmail issue, but I don't know if I can wait for that to get fixed. So, the question is what road do I take?

My current setup is qmail, vpopmail, qmail-scanner, sa, clam, courier-imap, ezmlm, etc. I'm more or less familiar with this setup, though it still confounds me at times. I was toying with switching to postfix, but I was put off by the fact that one has to do their own mysql wrangling to manage their domains... vpopmail seemed like less work.

I'm also concerned about being able to migrate all my domains' existing mail. Vpopmail creates a directory under /var with all the domains and all it's users. I suppose I could probably do the postfix configuration to point each virtual user to the directory under vpopmail instead of the usual /home dir.

I was told that any .maildir mta will be fine with the existing mail and the names of its files.... hope that's the case!

So, I'd love to hear any advice or examples. How do you all manage your virtual email?

Thanks,

Ben
