So hollistic has this "internet" of humans has become. I was actually trying to research how to make vpopmail work with postfix because i HATE the way (or lack thereoff) we have in qmail to put an extra email in each email sent (like a disclaimer or non disclosure text in each email). It seems postfix has a very well documented way to do this, and it seems ive found a page (in italian) that tells me its also doable in qmail...
Im tired of relying on web pages i scarecely know off to fix my qmail problems. I want to move to postfix because its so well documented. So, where can i find the documents to move my vpopmail install from qmail to postfix?
