Hi everyone. Sorry for the lack of updates, I’ve been fairly busy — I’m migrating all of my servers to a single, brand new Dell Poweredge 2900 server. I have a couple of great tutorials regarding Xen coming up soon, I’m sure at least someone will find them useful — I found the Xen documentation to be really scarce.

So, right now, I’m migrating my qmail, vpopmail, courier, clamav and friends set-up from Gentoo to Debian, on a new virtual machine. I followed the basic steps from here:

This gent was nice enough to provide the required qmail packages and patches. Only problem came when I tried to make courier work with vpopmail — turns out the official debian courier-imap packages don’t support vchkpw, which is the authentication mechanism for vpopmail. Fortunately, I managed to hack it in an almost clean way, that doesn’t involve building it yourself from tarball.

Read on for the jazz.
