So my question is the following: Is there enough knowledge out there yet that if I was to put everything back on one server but use SmarterMail instead of IMail with the same Declude package would I be suffering the same performance problems? I have heard more than once that IMail's Web Interface is a big pig on CPU resources.
Any thoughts on this?
IMail's Web server is so challenged that I consider it to be a security vulnerability (seriously). Most of my business is gatewayed E-mail now, but I have about 500 hosted accounts and I tell everyone that I can that the Web interface is not meant to be a primary means of access, and that it is unsupported. It's quite sad that I can't support the Web interface. I also have the IMAP service turned off because of long standing issues that seem to affect a great number of people with a decent number of IMAP users.
I'm watching intently myself for what other's experiences are with SmarterMail, and I trust that Declude will work hard to iron out the issues that exist in the migration to this new platform. I have little doubt that any mail server worth it's weight would be able to handle a message volume of 20,000 per day, and I would want to see 20 times that amount on a suitable server in fact, but aside from that, I am thinking that the determining factor would revolve around very specific capabilities that I have either come to rely upon, or would further benefit from. For instance, having SmarterMail be able to do address validation for gatewayed domains would be very nice, sub-mailbox functionality is something that would be hard to function without, supporting the SMTP Submission Port 587 would be very nice to see, and there are other such things, some of which might not hit me until the 11th hour that could be deal makers or deal breakers.
I'm eagerly awaiting the results and feedback of others, though I'm not technically in a rush to make the leap.
