I'm looking to get hold of some new mailserver software for a Windows 2003 box. I've been using TrueNorth Internet Anywhere mailserver on the NT box for 3 or 4 years now, and although its pretty good, it does lack a little in the antispam/antivirus area.
Anyone got any preferences or suggestions. As always, budget is a big point.
We've been using InFusion Mail Server for about 18 months and are happy with it. Being able to modify the behaviour of your mail system using CF templates is fantastic. I know that we could be using a variety of other open source systems to achieve the same result using other programming languages, but with IMS I know that a CF developer with some knowledge of Internet email systems should be able to fix any problems and even enhance the system (previous sysadmin experience is really not required, the docs are quite good).
Also, has anyone ever managed to fathom why antivirus software for a web server is so ridiculously expensive, when it does exactly the same function as the antivirus programs we all have on our development machines? Bloody thieving gypsies, the lot of them...
With IMS, you can jump straight into the code to handle mails and add virus scanning. There is an integrated virus scanner available, which is reasonably priced but not strictly necessary. You could go down the cheap route and just execute something on the command line for incoming mails.
