Hi.
Can anyone recommend a good mail server for Linux that supports multiple domains and has a web interface with a signup or new user page?  I am currently running such a server on my windows system, but I want to transfer all my servers to use Linux instead, because the more I use Linux, the more I love it.  But this is the only thing right now that is keeping me from keeping my dual-boot windows/Linux system booted into Linux at all times.  I would appreciate any and all help and/or recommendations in this matter.
Thanks,
Lorenzo Prince

Also you may want to check out webmin. You can remotely administrator many 
programs, and the interface is web-based. I think you can also admin a 
mailserver, don't quote me on that though.

Take a look at squirrelmail it has a lot of the functionality that you
are looking for out of the box, and it also has plug-ins to fill in the
missing gaps. Squirrelmail is found at 
www.squirrelmail.org
I use it on my computers at home and am quite impressed with it.

Oh yeah, squirrelmail is now packaged with Red Hat 8.x
