Helge,
Yes there are a number of free/cheap mail servers out there that would work
(personally Post.Office wouldn't be my first choice but I'm glad it works for you).
The advantage of iMS is that it is iMS :-) Namely, it can be programmed to use your
own database and custom processing, which is the whole reason we chose it to begin
with. Our MX backup knows which domains and users it serves because it's tied into
the main database (otherwise it could be used as a spam relay since we allow anything
from within our netblock to be relayed). I agree it can be set up using a different
product, but that's not what Howie was asking :-)
Thanks,
-Max
