Why not migrate them to a cpanel instance?

Thanks

The current platform is a custom collection of open source software, smtp, 
imap, pop, webmail. Web hosting is a basic LAMP stack all php 5.2 or greater. 
There is no interest in growing these services.

Question, what platform(s) are you running now?  What must you provide for
email, SMTP, IMAP, webmail, groupware, etc?  Do you have any intention of
growing this?

For the websites, what do they need?  Are you running any old PHP 3/4 stuff?
You can setup a control panel, but if you're not running one now, and you're
not going to expand it, why not just cap it until it becomes unprofitable?

I'm a proponent of hosting my own email, it's not that hard and any ISP should
be able to do it.
