Now, why would you want that ? I can think of no reason why one would
want to use exim + vpopmail.
vpopmail has great user management tools? vpopmail is supported by other
mail related software such as dovecot and spamassassin. vpopmail
supports mysql tables which lends itself to integration with other
software that are mysql capable.
Why would one NOT want to use (favourite mta) + vpopmail?
You do know that exim can talk directly with MySQL, right ? And
since you can specify the SQL Queries, the database can have
any format, thus integrating with everything else ?
So does postfix. You are missing the point. vpopmail comes with all the
tools necessary. With postfix or exim, one would have to build their own.
I even have exim sharing the same table with radius (and currier-imap)
on one of my sites.
Ah, so you have courier-auth library too.
Having exim talking directly with spamassassin is also very good and
easy, and speed things up quite a bit.
Sure. spamassassin milter + postfix milter :P
Using things like maildrop, vpopmail, amavis etc with exim is
just a good way to slow things down. The direct connection between
exim and everything else (spamassassin, antivirus etc) allows you
to reject mails during delivery, without the need to accept it
before passing to another agent.
??? postfix -> maildrop -> home dir/Maildir
Nothing in my system goes through vpopmail. vpopmail only creates the
Maildirs and maintains the mysql tables.
