I host 40 domains, 5000 users. We have about 1000 users using pop3 the rest
using web messaging. At 4.07 version I was extremely satisfied with the
product. I am now at the 5.08 level, the pop3 and smtp services seem to be
very strong, but the web messaging did not become stable for me until the
5.08 version. The length of time it took to the .08 revision has left me a
little soured, and I won't upgrade until the 6.04 or later. I am using a
PII 266, with 256K ram. The system runs about at 14% utilization while
processing between 8000 and 10000 messages a day.
Overall, I would recommend it as a POP3/SMTP server, but I feel the web
messaging is lacking in features and has general usability issues that have
made me look at other options.
Good Luck,
Steve
