Hello,
after reading the mailinglist for quite a while, this is in fact my
first posting:
I would like to setup a new web/email server running Gentoo and
this time I would like to use EXIM instead of qmail which I was
using the last 8 years [1].
On qmail I was using the great vpopmail tools, allowing setting up
easily domains and users [2]. If I understand the exim website
correctly, exim is also supporting the vpopmail files, but vpopmail
requires (at least on gentoo) the qmail package for installation.
Now I thinking about the best way to manage virtual domains and
users with exim: I do not want to use mysql for this purpose,
because the server is also running lots of websites and sometimes I
am working on the mysqld as well and I am concern about the
downtime of the mail service.
So, what is your oppinion how to handle virtual domains/users. Or
should I stay with vpopmail and just ignore the qmail installation
coming with it ?
