We are doing the same - IMail is very straightforward to set up and configure for
multiple domains.
What I have found the best benefit is the integration with SQL. Our central school
database is on MS SQL 7. I created the fields in the database that IMail needs. Now
the assignment of an eMail address is simply part of the admissions process. The LDAP
info is drawn directly from the demographic information and the system is self
supporting. When a student leaves, they are "inactivated" in our system. The view
that provides IMail with its user list filters only active students. When a student is
added, only the userID and password need to be entered - The SQL view "provides" IMail
with the Name, MAX values, etc. with the name and in the order that IMail expects. It
works great. We have an enrollment of 1900 students and I have NEVER manually
"created" an account for any of them. Let me know if you want more info on this.
