I don't think so.
Your baseless comments are obviously a direct result of bad experiences with
inferior mail servers such as IMail and Postfix for example.

I don't get your point. SQL Server scales to millions if not tens of millions of
transactions per day on a single server, and which number of transactions
mailservers can do as well. Obviously the specification of the servers is
important - but that much is obvious and allpies to any client/server
environment.

I don't know where you your justification from in making these comments - but it
is certainly not from experience. As for scalebility - sure - I can add any
number of front end web/CF servers, I can cluster my SQL servers and iMS
servers - how much scaleability do you want? And furthermore - what other
compbination of products will accomplish the same thing? Name two.

I think that comemnt demonstrates your ignorance of iMS and FusionMail in
particular. FusionMail reads the message files directly based on database
entries - so there is not protocol stuch there in the middle unlike most webmail
systems, and mail is injected directly into the POST queue unlike most webmail
systems.
If you are going to pretend to make qualified comments about iMS, you might at
least make the effort to familiarise yourself with it, instead of evangelising
about IMail and Postfix all the time - the latter if which is virtually unheard
of.
