Re: [webmin-l] webmin and mail

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

If you are using Qmail as your primary mail server, mail domains 
created by Virtualmin will not work properly. Currently, it only 
supports the configuration of Postfix and Sendmail to accept email for 
a domain - Qmail support is still being written.
