He Guys,
what is under your DB ? Flat files so, if you put every thing in a
DB on the server, the server can be as fast as you want there is a level
more.
The Controler is Well built so you can get Every thing you want
though the controler and if something is missing i suppose that Davide
would it add if usefull.
And Xmail ist a Server not a client so less you put on your server
more Xmail can get power from the system.
But were i thing it is helpfull to have a managment gui is on the
Sysman side and there it works ( via ODBC no problems of knowing what DB to
use Mysql for example )
