 Which bit of the mail server do you want to change? And why?
 
 I think you'll struggle to remove the local delivery part as vpopmail is
 pretty much tied to qmail, but you could always use a different smtp
 server as a front end to a system running qmail internally.
 
 Personally, I run qmail/vpopmail with qpsmtpd as the smtpd server.

The whole shoot and shebang.

It seems the powers that be have decided that Qmail is 'unmaintained',
and no longer consider it a viable option for our businesses' long term
needs. I don't have any say in this unfortunately. I just get to plan
and execute the migration.
