It is fairly easy to get postfix to do maildir and use courier imap (squirrel mail works wel for web mail). webmin will serve you well but you should not expect to get away with naive and casual use of a mail server. Some features are not available through webmin such as header and body checks. Wietse Venema has released a MIME aware version. He is a careful coder and I think the snapshot should be ready for the next Mandrake release. Jim Tarvid
