This is my first post so please be gentle. I would like to get some opinions on the Best Mailserver in the Universe. Is there a more appropriate list for this question? I have looked at Communigate Pro, IMAIL, and others. I am interested in integrated solution that can scale to handle 500k accounts Any experience good / bad would be great. Thanks /SF

I'm partial to sendmail due to the grandfather clause, but if I could go back in time and redesign everything, I'd be a diehard postfix fan. I have seen postfix and sendmail used in mail servers handling over 30 Million accounts. Good enough for ya? -Jack

I'm a die-hard exim fan (www.exim.org) which is used by quite a few ISPs here in the UK for volume VISPs (Freeserve, Demon and Mailbox spring to mind). I'm even more of a die-hard fan since I discovered it did localscan plugins. -- Joel Rowbottom - vaguely human, mostly harmless, still alive.

None of the Windows mail servers listed above or the others such as Mailsite, MDaemon, Merak, etc. are capable of more than 10-20k active users. Forget about 500k with any you have listed. If you want a solid mail server which WILL handle 500k users and will run on Windows and most *nix platforms, look at Surgemail from http://www.netwinsite.com It is incredibly scalable and VERY fast. It uses a spam assassin-like filter which is written in C so it is at least 20-100 times faster than spam assassin and 95% as effective. It includes support for AVAST anti-virus and the webmail program is powerful, fast, and includes support for PGP. It is an AWESOME product and the support and developers are top notch too. I don't have any vested interest in the company, but I am a very happy customer.

Communigate Pro is not a Windows mail server... It runs on nearly everything; and can handle millions of accounts (it has extensive clustering support). Check their website: www.stalker.com for specs. --vadim On Thu, 4 Sep 2003, Robert Boyle wrote:
