[lug] webmail recommendations

[karl horlen]

thanks for all the helpful replies from everyone.  


fwiw, i'm looking for something that will ride on top of postfix and just be the webmail frontend to the underlying mta.  i get the feeling zimbra is an mta / frontend combo or does it plug in play with other mta's?
