We use a postfix/postgres solution that allowed me to develop a pretty cool interface in cold fusion. Lately I have lately been working on a .NET IMAP Client so that I can move the WebMail/MainAdmin over to .NET/Mono. Anyway it runs great no problems and allows our techs and users similar levels of self administration that Imail allowed (Accounts & Aliases with limits, etc.) It took a bit to setup but I think it was worth it and we didn't have to go out and buy quad Xeon machines, like we did with IMail, to handle a decent load.

We have seen 2 in the last month. Each attack originates from a DSL IP address. Once from Mexico and this am from PacBell land, not that geographic location means anything. Only fix seems to be blocking the IP address at border. Imail version is 8.05. Symptoms are open socket count skyrocketing and normal POP3 calls failing for lack of sockets. Not keen on upgrading Imail due to webmail issues and other issues noted on Imail list. I have no desire to be a beta tester for IPSwitch. Been thinking of moving over to a *nix solution. Thoughts? -NB
