when i set up my first kolab server for me the most weird thing was  
the kolabconf stuff. especially in debian normally only debconf  
fiddles around with configs and templates. and then all of a sudden,  
there is some other process that constantly overwrites my postfix  
config... other dists might experience similar issues...

and kolabconf certainly has a bunch of limitation, esp. when you start  
a greater mail system setup (clustering, extending kolab, etc.)

tools like puppet or cfengine are a real gain when administrating >=1  
unix systems.

my 10 cent,
mike
