I still have to check. I just started as their 'part/small time' consultant
last month.
Nevertheless, I could run both MDaemon and Sendmail so that users can
get old mails from MDaemon and new mails from the new mail srvr,
temporarilly.
My big problem *sigh* though, are the accounts. I need to somehow convert
the MDaemon mail user database (if there is any) to Linux passwd file
format.
