I recently switched from a Windows mailserver (Argomail) to Surgemail one of my Linux servers. Does SMTP/ESMTP, POP3 and IMAP if you're looking for a fully integrated system. It's targeted at ISP's, has good spam filtering built-in as well as the ability to add external filters, has web mail, and an automated, almost painless method to migrate active user mailboxes from the old server to Surgemail without dropping any mail. It has every conceivable configuration option you can imagine, all setable from an admin web interface. It has worked flawlessly for me, and is super-fast. It's not in perl, and not free, but I'd highly recommend it. www.netwinsite.com
Jim Eshelman www.nepm.net Network Monitoring with a difference PS I searched a long time for a decent integrated Linux mail server, struggled with XMail twice (it fails to deliver some mail due to an overly strict adherence to DNS specs.) You'll need Qpopper or some sort of POP3/IMAP server to replace that part of MsExchange, if you go the Qmail/sendmail route, and then a webmail system such as OpenWebmail to do the web mail part if you need that, too. A lot of loose pieces. That's what led me to Surgemail in order to get on Linux without a lot of hassle and setup time. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ranga Nathan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, December 02, 2004 7:48 PM Subject: [Boston.pm] OT: Recommendation for mail server? > I am strongly advocating someone to get off Microsoft Exchange and move to > a Linux based mail server.
