I don't need web interface for sendmail, m4 and sendmail ldap aliases
are OK. But my boss says that he needs calendars, groupware and all
that stuff. Actualy, he doesn't realy know what he wants yet. :-)

OK, but if somebody wants to be "on his own", is there some hints
how to configure web interface by hand, is there some things in the
code or just config files? I cannot find obvious things, in kolab src
rpm admin subdirectory is the web interface. Is there config file for
it someware? Can you give my at least some hints how to start? Some
README file maybe?

OK, I agree with that. I'm more/less compatible with your server
choices (excluding MTA choice of course).

You can prevent security bugs by enforcing _your_ version of package
<foo>, but you can also _introduce_ potential security (or any other)
bugs by enforcing your version of package <foo> - IMO.
