The Vhffs subsystem (Virtual Hosting For Free Software, used on TuxFamily.org, a free software hosting service) uses exim + courier + mysql for providing multidomain pop/imap/webmail (ssl or not) without filling the passwd file with crap :) You can just get the packages as examples (Vhffs is actually at a experimental devel stage...) at: deb ftp://ftp.vhffs.org/debian vhffs main deb-src ftp://ftp.vhffs.org/debian vhffs main > I appreciate any help you may provide, Appreciating any feedback...
