[ale] Anyone have experience hosting email for multiple domains?

[Brandon Checketts]

I run a mail hosting service using Postfix and Dovecot and have a howto
set up at http://www.brandonchecketts.com/centos-mail-toaster.php  that
details the basic configuration.   I use that about once a month when
setting it up for somebody else and make small changes as new package
versions are released, so it should be pretty accurate and  I know it
works on CentOS 5.3.   Account credentials are stored in a MySQL backend
and it uses PostfixAdmin to manage the database of users.  I run several
hundred mailboxes off of it, and it works out great.

Thanks,
Brandon Checketts
