Mailborder is Now Free

I was on the phone when I replied to this. Actually, the answer is no.

For the install scripts each must be unique to the OS it is being installed
on. Why? My mother should be able to install Mailborder. Her current
computer experience is a Light Bright from the 1930s.

The idea is to automate everything. If you have installed Mailborder, you
know that the current Red Hat install sets up everything on the entire
server for you. All the user needs to do is login and add their domain.
That's the goal.

Anyway ...
