Hi All,
I am a system administrator using qmail toaster for few years. The
installation, configuration and everything is going without any pain. But I
am having desire to understand things properly. We are using several
packages for a perfect server setup. I just wanted to know the roles and
responsibilities of each packages. I searched in the internet and found the
following details.

"virtual discs" (Not sure)

qmail or Postfix mail server.

vqadmin-toaster -- vqadmin is a web based control panel that allows system

adding and deleting domains. The cgi is authenticated using Apache style
htpasswd files.
Can anyone just correct this if i am wrong? Also what is daemontools-toaster
is used for? What is the difference between vpopmail-toaster,
vqadmin-toaster, qmailadmin-toaster and control-panel-toaster.
Sorry for this much basic questions.. Thanks a ton in advance..
