E-mail server, minimalist approach




Hello!

I am curious about the best practices of hosting other people's e-mails
in FreeBSD, using Postfix and MySQL if necessary.

I used to use Postfixadmin but lately I feel sick when using badly laid out
web user interfaces like that. Maintaining stuff graphically not only makes me
want to change and redesign everything I see---it also makes it difficult for
me to store my configurations in my configuration repository.

Is there a minimalist approach to this?
Any recommendations?

(the following is off topic)

My minimalist approach to using MySQL for instance, is to stay away
from phpMyAdmin and just create my databases like this:

CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS database;
GRANT USAGE ON database.* TO database@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL ON database.* TO database@localhost;

Those are 3 lines that go well into my mysql.txt file, further subjected to
encryption, DVD burning and then burrial somewhere deep inside the
Sahara desert. Thanks folks!
