Re[2]: [vps-mail] Mail Handling, VPS2 and Vinstalls

["Peter M. Abraham" <peter.abraham@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings Abigail:

/usr/ports/mail/qmail is present; but you can easily build it from source.

I don't think Verio provides raw support for qmail.  We've been using qmail 
for a long time on our dedicated servers that I actually prefer it over 
sendmail for the most part.

For us the VPS 2 does come so close to a dedicated that you barely know it 
is not a dedicated.

We've been blessed with a server administration background; so the leap to 
a VPS 2 wasn't too bad.

Plus, you still have iManager which can help a lot if you are the direct 
user of it.

Thank you.
