Indeed... One thing to note, which came as a surprise to me since it seemed smartermail had all the features I wanted and much more; scalability on SM is quite limited. You cant use a backend SQL server, no duplication, and you cant run web mail on a different machine.
Their customer support said the maximum users on a box is 40k. They say the limitation is windows socket based. However, I see now that v 4.2 almost out and having implemented SSL on many of their protocols, I sensed that scalability/redundancy will be the next thing they would tackle for V5. I say we rename IMGate to SmarterGate : ) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Dobbin Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2007 4:21 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [IMGate] Re: Imail POP3 brute force attack We ran Imail for years and finally had enough.
