Roundcube works well (the original question) ... make sure you stay updated on security etc
Definitely much prefer running email in-house ... granted the size of the operation can quickly determine if you want to have resources assigned to running any type of servers in-house. Really like Surgemail - it's a great system for small email platforms (under 50k mailboxes). At former $$$job we ran several different Surgemail systems for customers with great success. Never tried their antispam/antivirus - the person making that decision at the time went outsourced. I have seen better looking webmail on Surgemail but their system is very functional and rather simple which is more important in my opinion. -p -----Original Message----- From: Af [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Steve Sent: Thursday, November 5, 2015 10:53 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Roundcube I've run Surgemail and Zimbra without any issues for years. Surgemail is cheap fast and extremely configurable. It has a mirror license you can get so you run servers flawlessly. I nan get it installed and running in literally 3 minutes. It pretty much configures itself. It isn't the best looking webmail but in the back end it is the most granular and fast mail server I've ever seen. Zimbra well its free and a somewhat decent exchange alternative. Runs like a pig compared to Surgemail but it is solid. Roundcube I've run it only in test environments and I'm actually looking at it again for domain hosting. So far no issues and it looks nice. I'll have to see once you get a couple hundred people running on it how well it really works. It really isn't that much work to manage mail servers at all. Once they are set up if you keep them up to date they really can be left alone. They alert you to any problems ahead of time. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Hammett" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, November 5, 2015 8:18:25 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Roundcube There seems to be two camps. One where people are running away form their own e-mail servers and then those that embrace it. I haven't found e-mail to be that difficult to manage. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chuck Hogg" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, November 5, 2015 6:01:35 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Roundcube I hope you are charging handsomely for email. We just quit it for our customer base...and only had 2-3 complaints. Everyone already has an email address.

Server side is postfix + spamassassin + dovecot. I have a successful 'test' setup of roundcube running in a VM doing TLSv1.2 on smtp and imap, logged into several user accounts on test domains on the dovecot server. Wondering if anyone has run into hiccups or weird things when using roundcube in a production environment.
