Vince,

I agree. It is a nice set up, especially with everything pre-packaged. The
biggest hurdle I faced was that QmailToaster does not currently support an
LDAP back end, which I need. Others have requested the same LDAP support, so
that may be an option in the future. Also, because I have around 500 mail
accounts, many of which use folders to organize their mail, it might be
challenging to move those folders into a different mail system. If I were
starting from scratch, this would be a good option.

Thanks,

John
