- So - I ask - what's everyone else running?  Here's a few things that I
- like about the QMail Toaster setup:

	For the occasional public facing mail server, I use the
following:

	sendmail for the MTA;
	SpamAssassin (& clamav & greylisting) via milter for SPAM control;
	Cyrus for IMAP/POP3 client access;
	SquirrelMail for webmail client access;

	Not a toaster, but it comes together pretty well.

	I will have to shortly learn postfix, as NetBSD is no
longer shipping sendmail as part of the base OS.. But, with 2.3,
postfix grew working milter support, so a lot of things should
be easier than they were before..

	I also want to see if perhaps I can convince dspam to
play nicely via a milter.

	Lets run down the punch list.

- 1)  Uses Web-frontend (SquirrelMail) for IMAP OR is a POP3 server

	(Y) Still using SquirrelMail over IMAP

- 2)  includes built-in SPAM detection and handling

	(Y) Greylisting and SpamAssassin do a good job;

- 3)  And it's an upgrade to what I was using before - so could 
-     eaily move existing IMAP/users email.

	(Y) use IMAP-Copy (or something like that) to move the
	    existing mailboxes into the Cyrus IMAP store.
