Hello, I absolutely agree with you, that's why we have switched to iMS ourselves.
But the thread started with a question for an quick and easy solution to solve a "store and forward" requirement :) Post.Office does that for free and can easily work together with iMS as an secondary MX to provide for a little bit more "redundancy" than a standalone solution would provide. No mail loss if CF Server goes down etc. The MX Backup is of course a better solution, but sometimes that degree of redundancy isn't necessary. I'm of cource speaking from our situation, our "large" customers runs Notes og Exchange, only SMB's use pop. - Helge -----Original Message----- From: Max Paperno [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 4. desember 2001 10:09 To: inFusion Support List Subject: RE: [iMS] Secondary Mail Servers 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 ==^======================================================= This list server is Powered by iMS "The Swiss Army Knife of Mail Servers" -------------------------------------- To leave this list please complete the form at http://www.coolfusion.com/iMSSupport.cfm Need an iMS Developer license?
