For an example of a quite important, but not fixed bug in current CentOS 8: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1680481 Long story short: currently, CentOS 8 is not usable as webmail server with classical httpd+prefork+mod_php (due to httpd crashing loop). Looking forward for CentOS 8.1! Thanks. -- Danti Gionatan Supporto Tecnico Assyoma S.r.l. - www.assyoma.it email: g.danti at assyoma.it - info at assyoma.it GPG public key ID: FF5F32A8
