By the way, this is CentOS 6.5.
If you are starting from scratch building a mail server you might want to look at SME server or ClearOS where webmail works out of the box.
It would be my personal preference that we help people run things on CentOS rather than always recommending another distribution.
SME isn't exactly an 'other' distribution, and ClearOS wouldn't be if CentOS6 had had a timely release. They are the same code underneath, just already configured to work as installed and with a few additions.
Whilst I understand why Johnny would prefer to be able to offer a CentOS-based solution rather than signposting users towards other products, I must admit I kind of agree with Les here.
My initial thought to Johnny's reply was why would CentOS want to reinvent this particular wheel, looking to solve a problem that has already been solved, just not by CentOS.
I thought that CentOS's space was to be plug compatible with RHEL. Or has
that changed?
As such any upgrade to a package that also in RHEL breaks that paradigm.
Pragmatically that is going to happen in the hobbyist arena, but probably should not happen in the professional (for want of a better word) arena.
