iMS is a mail server. It doesn't require another mail server to send or receive mail.
We also provide a freeware w/source webmail
interface for iMS.

iMS requires ColdFusion and templates for processing (sort of how a web server uses
ColdFusion for dynamic content processing).

One of our clients wrote some scripts to move Post.Office accounts to iMS if you are
interested.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
