Title: Using MSDE w/ Imail

Right, I was meaning a minimal requirement of going to Workgroup, not that Standard didn't still exist.

So there are now 4 editions: Express, Workgroup, Standard and Enterprise.   John T eServices For You   "Seek, and ye shall find!"   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Darin Cox Sent: Thursday, April 20, 2006 12:09 PM To: Imail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Using MSDE w/ Imail   Oh right, I was using old terminology... I should have said Workgroup instead of Standard.

I am able to run several applications using it where as otherwise they would have to use their own MSDE instances.   John T eServices For You   "Seek, and ye shall find!"   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Shaun Mickey Sent: Thursday, April 20, 2006 11:44 AM To: Imail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Using MSDE w/ Imail   I really don’t see how they can’t, if your not too big of a shop then SQL server is massive overkill.  The open source MySQL and PosgreSQL are damn good for free, they’re not too hard to configure and they both (I know MySQL does) run on windows as well as Linux or UNIX.   Microsoft has to do something to keep in the game   Thanks, Shaun ----------------------------------------------------------- Shaun Mickey  270net Technologies Phone: 301.663.6000 x28 Fax: 301.663.4410 www.270net.com "Internet/Technology Solutions for Business and Government" ----------------------------------------------------------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matrosity Hosting Sent: Thursday, April 20, 2006 2:38 PM To: Imail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Using MSDE w/ Imail   I'm amazed that MS is giving this away!

Hilton Sent: Thursday, April 20, 2006 7:05 AM To: Imail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Subject: [IMail Forum] Using MSDE w/ Imail Hello All, We’re running Imail 7.15 here and need to build a new SQL Server to handle user authentication. Currently we’re running SQL 2000 Server but the boss wants me to move to SQL Express 2005. I’m concerned that I’ll hit walls with concurrent connection limits. The old 2000 MSDE had a limit of 25 concurrent connections. I’m not positive if this is still true with SQL Express 2005 but being that I have a good 60+ virtual hosts on this server, not to mention about 10 websites that also use this SQL Server, I’m going to run into connection limits hard. Can anyone provide some insight here? Is it feasible to run Imail with a SQL Express database? Troy D. Hilton Serveon, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 302-529-8640
