Hello! I am curious about the best practices of hosting other people's e-mails in FreeBSD, using Postfix and MySQL if necessary. I used to use Postfixadmin but lately I feel sick when using badly laid out web user interfaces like that. Maintaining stuff graphically not only makes me want to change and redesign everything I see---it also makes it difficult for me to store my configurations in my configuration repository. Is there a minimalist approach to this? Any recommendations? (the following is off topic) My minimalist approach to using MySQL for instance, is to stay away from phpMyAdmin and just create my databases like this: CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS database; GRANT USAGE ON database.* TO database@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; GRANT ALL ON database.* TO database@localhost; Those are 3 lines that go well into my mysql.txt file, further subjected to encryption, DVD burning and then burrial somewhere deep inside the Sahara desert. Thanks folks! -- Vaaf
