I was looking at http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/CentOS_5_QmailToaster_Install and saw this line:

Edit /etc/php.ini and set register_globals = On

Setting register_globals to ON is a security issue.  Also starting in version 6 (IIRC) of PHP, register_globals will permanently set to off and will be removed all together.

http://php.net/manual/en/security.globals.php

If it is still a requirement to set register_globals = On, then i would not be able to use the Qmail Toster.

I've been running qmail-toaster for years, and am active in the community. I know that qmail has its drawbacks, but QMT far outweighs them. Do check it out.

If anyone's interested, I could do a presentation at a meeting about QMT. You can build one from scratch in nearly that amount of time (once you know what to do, of course).
