Hi all,
At the moment, the server is only running qmail and ezmlm. I have
removed the vpopmail setup from the machine, as it was not doing
anything useful. I do realize that there was ONE person who was using
POP3 to get his email directly from the machine. This does not strike me
as a good enough reason to keep a POP3 server installed and an open port
listening.
Can we still install qmailadmin ( http://www.inter7.com/qmailadmin.html )
without having vpopmail installed? I'm used to managing qmail through this
nifty web interface
I know. However, neither qmailadmin nor vchkpw are maintained Debian
packages, which means that the onous of making sure no security problems
is entirely manually on us. This does not seem worth the trouble to me.
. If not, then vpopmail was doing something useful. And
besides, we can have vpopmail installed while the pop3 service disabled.
I also think vpopmail gives some useful command line utilities like
vadddomain, vadduser, etc. which are more convenient then tweaking the qmail
configuration directly.
More convinient - true. However, the operations they do are not very
common, and as stated above, the package is a high maintanance one.
