thanks for input!!!
having built many mailservers i will be ok in general yet what i am really looking for now is how is everyone here filtering "spam in languages other than English"... most of the spam i get is in Spanish.
i am having a hard time finding it googling (other than Bayesian filters) and i just need some searching help or direction to find so i can study up please?
and thing is, ummmm im willing to use sendmail yet i want my customers to be able to admin their own virtual mailservers with a web interface... what is everyone using there??? sendmail and ??? or qmail and ???
I find postfix to be quite sexy, but I don't do much in the way of virtual hosting. Postfix in the centosplus repository has support for mysql, and should be what you're looking for but I don't have much detail for you. Postfix is easier to set up than sendmail, and requires less upkeep than qmail (no building it, no patching it, no wondering where the hell djb thinks mail files should go since he's too good for standard locations), not to mention that postfix is provided with the distro, so you'll get updates when they happen, not when you notice them and rebuild.
Just my $0.02
