I posted this before (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=25475) but realized after the fact that the undescriptive subject line probably resulted in many people no noticing the post; hopefully this more descriptive subject line will attract more attention. (Mods: I think a one-week delay was agreed as acceptable earlier; if not, please remove this post.)

I am selling a turnkey collection of configuration and scripts which can create a almost completely automated webhosting company, handling everything except for user support (which obviously can't be easily automated). The code includes a makefile for automatic installation.

Upon installing this code, you will have a fully configured system using Apache (including suexec), qmail, and djbdns for HTTP, SMTP, and DNS respectively, SMTP-after-POP3 email relaying and anti-spam email throttling, MRTG graphs of bandwidth and system status, mailing lists under user control (via ezmlm), as well as of course the automated scripts which handle signups, billing, and account management. All of this code and configuration was carefully designed with security in mind (which is one reason why FreeBSD, qmail and djbdns were chosen).

If anyone is interested I will make the code available for a free 30 day trial (which should easily be long enough to decide if you want to buy the code); if you decide you want to buy it the code will only cost $300... pretty cheap for a webhosting-company-in-a-box.

You are good to go. The wait time is only to stop people from posting or bumping threads every day to hog the free ad spotlight. We'd like to give everyone a chance to post an offer and have it on the first page for a day at least :D
