Creating virtual servers, virtualmin pro, and user skeleton

I have a few question right now.

When creating a virtual server I can't seem to be able to apply it to an existing user. In fact it prevents that from occurring. Is there a way to allow an existing user to create their own virtual server? In other words have it so that the user can do their own (i.e. for multiple domains). I guess the better way to ask this is if it is possible to have a user control multiple domains?

What is the differences between VirtualMin GPL and VirtualMin Pro. I'm trying to determine if it is worth it to do so?

Is there any way to modify the skeleton that is created per user?

EDIT: One addition item I just remembered. How can I configure it so that the email server is outbound only? I have email hosting on a separate provider so they handle all of it for me. Something like this (http://swig505.com/2009/06/13/postfix-outgoing-only.html) but in VirtualMin settings.

I guess I have one more question. Has anyone tried SNI (Server Name Indication) at all with the packages in VirtualMin.

Server OS (right now) is Ubuntu 8.04 which was conveniently left out of the earlier infol

Yes, but only if all the domains in question are Sub-Servers.

That is, you have an account for your user... anytime you create a new Sub-Server, it'll be put in /home/USERNAME/domains/DOMAIN_NAME.

And when that happens, the user "USERNAME" will be able to control it, and any other Sub-Servers that are created under that account.

Once you've created the initial account for your user, you can create Sub-Servers by selecting Create Virtual Server, then clicking "Sub-server".

What is the differences between VirtualMin GPL and VirtualMin Pro.

The best description of the difference is here:

How can I configure it so that the email server is outbound only

To do that, just don't enable the "Mail" feature for any domains you're creating. You may also want to disable the mail feature in System Settings -> Features and Plugins.
