Hmmm...I like the idea of PostfixAdmin, but I don't suppose anyone knows if it'll work with PostgreSQL? Being an Oracle DBA by day, I can relate much more to PG than to MySQL. I've converted my SquirrelMail to PG (with web help) and have been MySQL-free ever since.
Anyone?

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.

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. kashani -- [email protected] mailing list -- [email protected] mailing list
