Thanks for the feedback and links. We use FreeBSD as well for everything. 
It's just so solid, stable, etc. I concur completely about Imail which is 
why we have decided to move away. If the to-do list wasn't so long, we 
would have done it a long time ago.

Zimbra looks interesting but I don't see a native version for FBSD.

We are a small service provider with approx 500 domains. We average 400,000 
inbound emails per 24 hour cycle weekdays with about 10-12% of that ham. One 
domain accounts for 80-85% of that volume.

Imail w/Declude on a beefy multi-processor server is no longer keeping up as 
well as we'd like it to. Without our IMGates, we would be dead in the water. 
So it's time to start migration plans. Cmd line is no problem. We are a 
FreeBSD house. Linux is okay, but prefer FBSD for servers. A front end GUI 
would be nice for the staff whose comfort level w/cmd line is low although 
it's not a must.

One item we have been considering is a solution that allows customers to 
manage or at least have more control over their own spam filters. IMGate 
type of filtering is great for probably 90% of our customers but we've found 
doesn't met all customers needs. This has led us to extend/develop 
additional capabilities for our IMGates. It would be nice to offload some of 
that management onto the customer.

Currently, reporting is a thin area for us. The new system should have good 
management and reporting capabilities.

Check out Maia Mailguard, basically a web interface for the amavisd stuff
for clients.
