If you're using postfix check out postfixadmin |
| 54 |
http://high5.net/postfixadmin/ |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
you just have to make sure you configure the postfix database tables and postfix database config files the way it is shown in the postfix howto on postfixadmin's site. |
| 57 |
because if you use the gentoo howto the tables will be different and you would get entries created that won't get queried. |
