You did the right thing. At least qpopper seems to be a good idea to replace. If we look at the task content, we see: qpopper # HELP: What's a good pop server? I personnally tend to agree that dovecot is probably a much better choice than qpopper+uw-imapd. Let's see whether we have more comments about this. PS: the mail-server task also has a comment with "# HELP: what about some webmail thing?" which would be a good idea if there is something that makes a good consensus (roundcube?). The side effect would then be that it would probably always drive Apache and, depending on the software, PHP and maybe even some RDBMS software....which would be overkill.
