We just got the newest version of IMAIL here to replace our old crap we're using now. Haven't implemented it yet though but seems like a good program. But we only got the up to 250 users license since were a small business.

Version 7.1 states " Support and Scalability The sky's the limit with IMail Server. You don't have to worry about your mail system expanding beyond its capacity with IMail Server's market-leading scalability and performance. IMail delivers greater performance than proprietary mail systems, offering scalability to over 100,000 accounts on a single server Support for more than a million messages a day IMail supports an unlimited number of user accounts You can set up "peer" servers to allow several servers to share the load of a single domain - an economical and redundant way to host hundreds of thousands of mail accounts " Do not get me wrong, I do not always believe what I read, but it seems you are within thier capabilities. Another question, do you have anything else running on your server? I am asking these questions as I am looking to find an alternate solution to Exchange. So far this one seemed the most likely candidate. Your help is appreciated. Thanks.

I think it is great for small business but with any real load it dies. We played with it for about a month until we decided to go ahead and move to exchange. Always knew Exchange was better, but we were looking for something for our clients and did not want to go through the trouble of setting up a DC just to run Exchange, even though that is what we ended up doing. We are also talking out IMail taking in about 1,000 msgs a minute, so we are pretty hard on our servers. If you have the money, I would suggest Exchange since you have over 20,000 users and I am not sure if it will run like you are wanting it as well. We were running it on a Dual 2.1 GHz Xeon, 8 gigs ecc 2600 registered ram, 15,000 rpm RAID 0 SCSI drives and still could not keep up. I would suggest using the trial for the month to make sure it works for you because we are still trying to get our money back.

Since we're in the early stages of the project, don't have a lot of useful info to pass on, but IPSwitch is pretty solid and the specs look great on paper, plus there's an option to buy anti-virus for the mail server if that's a plus for you. Price is reasonable by our standards ($2500 for unlimited users with support contract) but we're replacing a Netscape Messaging Server/LDAP combo that's costing $1.50/head for 20,000+ users. Replacing $30,000 software and CFLDAP with $2500 and CFQUERY sounds pretty good right now :) Regards, John Paul Ashenfelter CTO/TransitionPoint [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Byers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, June 28, 2002 10:23 AM Subject: SMTP MAIL SOLUTION ON SQL SERVER > Here is a question. > > Does anyone use a mail solution that works on top of WIN 2000/SMTP and SQL > Server 7/2000? > > What I want to do is use SMTP on the server to send mail.
