Rimas,

Thx for the note.�� There is actually quite a bit being committed regularly.�� Can anyone tell me hoe often releases are made?�� Or do people actually check out the latest stuff?

Old style init scripts are generally still supported, so I guess it should just work.�� Would anyone recommend sticking to CentOS6?�� Or just go for 7?

Thx for any and all input.

Helmut

Hello,

First message here.  I am looking to get off of qmailtoaster (been running it for many, many years) since even it is not well maintained any more.

I am looking at either postfix or exim, and an easy tool to manage them (limited free time=hobby business).  I ran across exim4u and it looks like it might fit the bill.  Other platforms I am looking at are ISPConfig and BlueOnyx (yes, I know, sendmail), Xeams, Virtualmin.  I know all of those are not email only, but I hope I can just ignore the other portions of those application stacks.  I do like that exim4U is first for email, exactly what I want/need.  I do have a couple questions:

1. Is it maintained and being further developed?  I am not concerned if it is slow development, but what exists should be relatively solid.

You can see the commit log here: https://github.com/Exim4U/src/commits/master . As you can see, there is some stuff going on.

2. Will it run on CentOS7 or other systemd platforms?  Seems they are all pretty much going that way unfortunately.

I don't think there's anything that could stop Exim4U (or Vexim for that matter) from working with systemd-based platforms. After having a quick you look at the list of files shipped by Exim4U, I only found two initscripts ( https://github.com/Exim4U/src/tree/master/etc/init.d ), so I would guess that even if some adjustment would be needed, it wouldn't be that difficult to implement.
