No, its tools are immature in my opinion. Worse than IMail if thats possible. To get Imail to do a halfway decent job you needed a third-party add-on like Declude, MXGaurd or ASSP. I bought Declude myself, and found it to be best suited to someone who wants to be hands on every day in the war on spam. I got tired of that after about 2 yrs and switched to ASSP (assp.sourceforge.net) a year ago and never looked back. Totally hands-off after the initial training period. When IMail was pulled from the market the 3rd party companies that depended on it started scrambling. MXGaurd told me they would have a version working with SmarterMail by mid-December. Expect Declude to be there in the same ballpark. >Does anyone have any performance comparisons between SM and Imail? There was a lot of anecdotal reporting going on among server admins firing up SM and saying it seemed to handle load as well or better than IMail. No one who switched or fired up new servers on SM came back and said anything bad about it. Frankly the biggest impact I experienced was with SM's stellar web mail client, which includes a cross-browser wysiwyg editor. Clients love it -- especially considering IMail's relatively primitive web interface. >Especially the migration tools they offer for imail admins On one server I rolled over 40 domains and several hundred users' email with no complaints. All passwords xferred fine along with mail on the server. It was a nice, simple process. >aside from looking like some program by some company i really dont like >icewarp looks decent Thats the Merak mail server, Icewarp is the actual developer. In Czech Republic I think. Their US reseller is in VA and the VisNetic mail server is also Merak rebranded. Its big, bad, powerful as you'll ever want and priced accordingly, although still cheap compared to when IMail was for sale. -- --Matt Robertson-- President, Janitor MSB Designs, Inc. mysecretbase.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:187674 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
