Ditch the Gentoo Virtual How-to and use PostfixAdmin if you decide to go the Postfix route. Web interface for admin, domain admin, and user self admin. I switched to it about two years ago and have been really happy.

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.

Anything .maildir/ format is going to be trivial to move. Most Postfix virtual stuff uses some form of the following format.

/var/vmail/$domain/$user

The above is configurable though you might need to tweaks things a bit if you were using /var/vmail/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ or other formats. In any case 10 minutes of scripting would handle that as well.
