Scalix meets all of these needs easily, and you have some good contacts on here 
who support thousands of users in the city running it.  :)

Give it a look.  If you have questions or problems, don't hesitate to ask me, 
on here or privately.

You don't mention handhelds, but Scalix does them too.  Expect it to support 
Activesync (I know, I know) before summer, and likely MUCH sooner.

As I'm obviously biased, I know there are others on here who do run it in a 
variety of enterprise scenarios, and can comment on it's viability as an 
Enterprise mail server.

Subject: [clug-talk] Email server recommendations?

I am looking at updating my server in the near future and think it's 
time to try out something else for email.  Currently I'm running Zimbra 
in a VM and it's been more or less decent, except for some odd cases 
where it just stopped receiving messages (had to bump the services), and 
the fact that my ssl certificate has expired.

I'm considering the latest version of Zimbra, but wanted to ask the 
opinion of the list.

Here's my needs:

- Multi domain (but few users / low volume)
- IMAP/POP3 (of course)
- Low maintenance
- Anti-spam / virus (with auto learn and updates)
- Multi-folder capable. (i.e. I want to be able to create sub folders 
under the Inbox and direct mail to the appropriate folder)
- Sieve or some kind of server side filtering capabilities (with an easy 
interface)

Calendaring would be a nice to have, but not critical for my needs.

I've tried Citadel in the past (1+ year ago) and didn't like it (lack of 
access to logs when things go wrong).  I don't know what the current 
incarnation is like.  I've tried Kolab and it needed a bit too much 
maintenance for my tastes (2.1 days I think it was...).  I'm open to 
going low level with Postfix/exim/cyrus/courier/spamassasin/etc., but 
want a good how-to to follow where I can set things up once and more or 
less forget about it.  Oh, and I'm looking for it to run on a Ubuntu 
server (though that isn't critical).

My primary focus is low maintenance.  I don't want to be wasting lots of 
time just to keep the server running and current.  Everything else is 
more or less typical of a modern mail server, I think.. :)

So, any recommendations / suggestions?

Shawn

(ps, I know this is somewhat of a loaded question... but I'm wearing my 
"business manager" hat right now.. not my techie hat...)
