Edwin,
I've added a link on the wiki for a "Migrating from QmailToaster" page. I
hope you'll consider sharing some documentation of your migration experience
by adding some content there (simply log in and click the red link to create
the page). Don't be too concerned with making it pretty, as someone else
will probably come by later and do so.
TIA for your participation in the community (and good luck with your migration)!
