Hmm, yes I've been thinking about switching my webmail software for 
quite a while since he stopped working on it. Just need to find 
something that seem transparent to all the users when it's upgraded 
(ie: all their mail will be where is should be :) ). 

I found a couple more interesting parts of my maillog concerning the 
www account just a little while ago. Seems like my server is being used 
to spam other email too?
