[NTLUG:Discuss] new mail server options

[Stuart Johnston]

I'd have to disagree.  Although my CGP experience is tainted by the bad 
hardware I have it running on, I wouldn't use it if I had a choice.

It is increasingly non-free.  The webmail module (IMHO) stinks.  And 
although combining everything from MTA to HTTP in a single binary has 
some advantages, it certainly has disadvantages too.

The WebAdmin interface is kinda handy at times, though.
