I have a friend who began using VopMail some time ago and he has been pleased with it. He chose Vop mainly because of the database options and the ability to run the web interface on IIS. I considered them too when I first bought IMAIL and joined their support list and had several messages with Vircom support. My impression was very good on both issues. However, you had to be careful on pricing because back then anyway you had to buy several products and combine them to get everything Imail offered in one program. Also, I found my ability to setup and manage Imail was considerably faster than with Vop. But I did like the product. Vop spam filtering when I used it was good but no match for Declude / Imgate / Imail. If you have IMGATE I'm not quite certain what your main goal is in looking at Vop. If you want additional off-server processing you might consider http://www.dataenter.co.at/products/xwall.htm If you're primarily concerned about price you might consider XMAIL which is free and runs on MS or Linux and can be highly customized. But takes some effort. http://www.xmailserver.org/ Terry Fritts
