I have smoothly running a combination of Postfix / Dovecot / SASL / Apache 2.2 / Horde / MySQL in a FreeBSD jail (with Horde no yet fully capable). I'll furtheron add NewAmavis / SpamAssassin / ClamAV and also complete Horde functions as well as probably ejabberd with MySQL lookup. Some older Outlook versions seem not fully IMAP capable but in general this works nice with Outlook too. Postfix offers configuration options for "broken clients" :-) When building all the stuff in a Jail please have an eye on which of the Jail's IPs should be used for SMTP (outgoing). The first alias IP from the hosts /etc/rc.conf will be taken, not neccessarily the primary Jail IP. regards Tom
