Re: [gentoo-server] Postfix Virt Mail Hosting

[Anthony Valentine]

I am planning on building a new server using that config (sans mailman), 
however I don't want clear text passwords and will be using postfix 
2.2.5, so I would be interested in that HOW-TO and sample config files.

Thanks in advance!

UNIX was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things, because that
