Wow, that's pretty outdated! I wouldn't go there. They have qmail being installed before vpopmail, which is backwards. vpopmail needs to be built and installed before qmail, at least the way QMT is presently doing things. I never did QMR, so I can't say about that for sure.

QMT was originally based on QMR. I don't believe that QMR is maintained in any way any more, and I know that there have been at least some QMR installations that people have converted to QMT. The QMR web site doesn't appear to be working presently.

If HC gives you full root access though, I don't know why MySQL would be a problem. I know that some people have put QMT on VPS services. You'll need root CLI access though, and having such, I don't know what would prohibit you from installing MySQL. Perhaps their hosts are limited containers of some sort.

If HC is unable to support a host with MySQL, I think I'd find a different hosting provider.

Perhaps someone else has some more insights about hosting solutions. I think some of our users are solution providers. As for myself, I'm more into self hosting. You really don't need a host in a datacenter to run QMT. My first QMT machine was a PentiumII w/ 512M ram that I ran at home. It would still handle QMT just fine (especially since adding spamdyke), except that I'm running everything as VMs now.

TTBOMK, you'll need vpopmail with an authentication/backend module of
some sort. See http://www.inter7.com/index.php?page=vpopmail for
possible authentication modules.

What is your problem with Mysql?
Which alternative do you have in mind?

FWIW, once vpopmail 5.5 is stable with ldap, I'm hoping to develop an
option with QMT to be able to use ldap in place of mysql. We'll be lucky
to see this by sometime next year though (don't hold your breath).
