Dr. Boyes makes some excellent suggestions regarding splitting the e-mail workload between two virtual machines and perhaps a PC-based spam scanner. And SquirrelMail seems to be a good package to use.
If you are looking for an inexpensive, commercial (i.e. supported) e-mail solution, I've had very experiences with a package caller SurgeMail from an outfit in New Zealand; NetWin Server Software (http://www.netwinsite.com/). It offers all of the normal e-mail server functionality, plus extras such as calendar, file sharing, instant messaging, forum, and chat room modules. Virus and spam scanning can either be done on the host (not recommended) or on a separate PC-based Linux system. If your requirements call for a commercial solution, I would recommend SuregMail. ----- Original Message Follows ----- From: David Boyes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Subject: Re: What email/web email software on SUSE ZLinux Date: Tue, 24 Jul 2007 15:36:48 -0400 > > We are looking for a web email application that will run > > on SUSE ZLinux.
