How was the migration to SmarterMail? Pretty straight forward? I am playing with the demo myself and am very happy with it and the PRICE! I can afford an email server software again.
What add-ons are you using for AV and/or Antispam? Is it included? I see Declude works with the, but it is pricey. I can't justify that expense for Declude. If I could, then I would have stuck with Imail. Does SmarterMail support connection filtering bypassing the last machine? Meaning if I have a store and forward or a gateway scanner, can SmarterMail be configured to ignore the last connection and use the one prior to that connection? Thanks for the info....it is helpful in my decision making for the budget bny the end of the month for next year. Unless, as I told Kevin, Imail really steps up, my budget is going to be allotted to SmarterTools.

We dumped imail in favor of smartermail. CPU resource on the server is now much, much lower. We can send ten times the numbers of emails in the same time it took imail to spool out the mail. Smartermail is much less expensive too. As far as features go we haven't really found anything that imail had that we miss. There were a couple of things smartermail was lacking being a less mature product but those are expected to be taken care of with the new version of SM next month. They were features we haven't used in the past but thought they might be useful in the future. I still lurk on this list as sometimes there are general email topics that I find useful. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:IMail_Forum- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of William Van Hefner > Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2005 12:35 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Upcoming Pricing. > > Mike, > > I'm not sure how you can claim that when you do not know what the pricing > is > for Imail's upcoming SA in 2006.
