Jake, You are probably right, but we are a small ISP, and never will have a large mail server. If this server ever reaches 500 accounts I will be way more than shocked. So this works well for us. The really nice thing is restoral - it's a snap. If I have a few thousand email accounts, it would be a different story.

I think in the long run that running a large mailserver on any virtual environment is a bad idea. I'll need to verify, but I think even the "big official" mail server packages are not supported if run in virtual environment and probably for reasons like this. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.
