Re: Ports or packages

["Ben Hooper" <ben@networkinsanity.com>]

Carl,

|Im new to OpenBSD but have been working with NetBSD for a while. Under 
|NetBSD I was always working with ports and compiling them from 
|source. But 
|under OpenBSD it seems to be the way to install precompiled 
|packages. What 
|way should I go under OpenBSD .. source or binaries.
|
|What I need to install is:
|
|Postfix
|Openwebmail
|These should use MySQL to use virtual domains and user authentication

Did this a couple of weeks ago. I used the ports system, although I used
Courier-IMAP/IMP not Openwebmail.

|Apache with OpenSSL (also with vritual domains)

This is in the base system.

|And Im looking for a webinterface to have the mail accounts 
|administered by 
|people themself and an administrator to add/remove users and 
|to add/remove 
|virtual domains. What program should I use

If your accounts are stored in MySQL, take a look at postfixadmin[1].
Worked well for me. YMMV.

Ben.
