If you like pain and steep learning curves, qmail+vpopmail+mysql can also be quite a good choice but is not for the faint hearted - possibly overkill for 1500 users unless you've had qmail experience before, on the plus side - there is a qmail "toaster" for redhat which works exceptionally well to get everything up and running http://www.qmailtoaster.com/ very nice and it works (you'll need to install all the various files under "Stable 1.0) - gives you a nice web gui, webmail, mailing lists and a virtual mail system that is fast and will scale to the millions of users (you will probably need a rather powerful box for that tho :-) ) -- Steve. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
