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.

zlib  -- general purpose compression library
daemontools-toaster -- we can back up our physical CD/DVD discs into "virtual discs" (Not sure) ucspi-tcp-toaster -- tcpserver and tcpclient are easy-to-use command-line tools for building TCP client-server applications. vpopmail-toaster -- to manage virtual email domains email accounts on your qmail or Postfix mail server. libdomainkeys-toaster -- The source code for the latest libdomainkeys implementation libsrs2-toaster -- SRS library from the original designer of SRS. It implements the Sender Rewriting Scheme
qmail-toaster -- ??
courier-authlib-toaster -- set of programs which handle authenticating login requests from the IMAP and POP3 services courier-imap-toaster -- Courier-IMAP provides IMAP access to Maildir mailboxes. autorespond-toaster -- Autorespond is autoresponder/vacation type tool that works well with vdelivermail and qmailadmin.
control-panel-toaster -- ??
ezmlm-toaster  -- An easy-to-use and high-speed mailing list manager
qmailadmin-toaster -- software package that provides a web interface for managing a qmail system with virtual domains.
qmailmrtg-toaster -- Log to Graph generator
maildrop-toaster -- Maildrop reads a mail message from standard input/file then delivers the message to your mailbox. isoqlog-toaster -- is an MTA log analysis program written in C. It designed to scan qmail, postfix, sendmail and exim logfile and produce usage statistics in HTML
squirrelmail-toaster -- Provides webmail access
spamassassin-toaster -- Open Source mail filter, written in Perl, to identify spam using a wide range of heuristic tests on mail headers and body text clamav-toaster -- Clam AntiVirus is an open source (GPL) anti-virus toolkit for UNIX, designed especially for e-mail scanning on mail gateways ripmime-toaster -- to extract attachments out of a MIME encoded email packages. simscan-toaster -- Simscan is a simple program that enables the qmail smtpd service to reject viruses, spam, and block attachments during the SMTP conversation vqadmin-toaster -- vqadmin is a web based control panel that allows system administrators to perform actions which require root access for example, 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..

Thanks and Regards,
S.Senthilvel


You're looking at the Windows Daemon Tools. daemontools-toaster is like SysV Init, sort of. It manages the running qmail processes and restarts them if there is an error. Think "service named restart", but with a checker that monitors the process and if it dies, restarts it. qmail-toaster is the actual qmail code, patched and compiled to provide SMTP and POP3 service. control-panel-toaser is the web framework you get when you go to http://your-toaster/admin-toaster vpopmail-toaster is the vpopmail package, which handles the virtual users and other mailbox functions. vqadmin is a web app that allows you to create, edit, delete, etc. domains from the vpopmail database. qmailadmin-toaster is the web interface used to manage a domain - you see this when you go to http://your-toaster/qmailadmin
