When you patch a package locally, I'd recommend updating the package version at
the same time by eg adding or incrementing an epoch (in 1:2.3-4, the epoch is
the 1)
This will mean your local package version will be higher than any package
update to the stable repositories.
Note however it woul

I recommend exim. I've used it for >10 years. It is heavy-weight for
desktops/laptops, but the Debian packaging around it makes such
configuration situations a lot simpler. (The same packaging gets in the
way of running exim on a server, IMHO).
In the past I've tried simple MTAs designed for deskt

Not MTAs… I guess you're going one further and sugges
These days, it's apt-get: aptitude's resolver has some awkward bugs that

I do this using procmail on my server, with a .procmailrc in each user's
folder. I do use virtual accounts but there's at least one UNIX account
behind each virtual one (so it's many virtual:one UNIX mapping), so if
you don't have real UNIX accounts at the bottom this won't work. Also
procmail is h

It's not clear to me what problem you are trying to solve and why ZFS would be
a good solution for it. The elephant in the room, with regards your use case,
is backups, IMHO. That said:
