RE: [cpx] Mail System Administrator

[Iris Denko <tecnoteam@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Why not buy a really good control panel such Plesk and offer us? Why reinvent the wheel and loose time here for something such CPX? I think all of us would be pay for Plesk or another good control panel as option. Verio as big company can buy licenses for a bit of money and offer to us.Regards,Iris> Date: Wed, 25 Jul 2007 19:29:43 +0200> From: gadnet@xxxxxxxxxx> To: cpx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: [cpx] Mail System Administrator> > Scott Flinders a écrit :> > Hello all,> >  > > Let me start with a quick introduction.
