Pop toaster recommendations seeked

[Ira Abramov]

Howdie folks.

for years I would install qmail+vpopmail+qmailadmin to give a client a
nice robust virtual-domains web manager with mailing lists and all they
needed, but today I discovered, that after 2-3 years of code freeze and
maybe drop of users, courier imap seems has broken the option of
authenticating with vpopmail, which means I have a wonderful virtual
mail management and delivery system, but no pop3 and imapd to use it
with. maybe it's time to ditch this kit and find another.

option 1: courier MTA and SQWebmail - not so happy about it. I don't
know the MTA, the message store is proprietary and limiting, no central
management via web of the users (other than PHPMyAdmin, not friendly
enough for my client.

options 2: Zimbra. seams like a bit of an overkill but I'm told it
works well, has postfix for an engine, and rumors say it supports
virtual domains well (though I could not be sure from the confusing
admin manual).

Option 3: ? Donno... can you recommend?

I'd love some input from your experience, I could not find anything
solid enough with a webby control panel on howtoforge, so it looks like
I'll lean towards Zimbra unless anyone has a rabbit in his hat to offer.

Thanks!
Ira.
