MailEnable is OK, I used it for years, but the web
interface was unstable and it could only handle a few hundred accounts on a dual
Zeon Processor with 2GB of memory. I stopped using it about 1 year ago and
switched back to MDaemon that I had used 6 years ago. It scales much
better as we have 2000 email accounts on it on a dual 700Mhz processor with 1 GB
of RAM.
For mail servers, use RAID 0 or RAID 10 for faster disk
access. The faster the harddrives, the faster the mail server runs as they
constantly read/write from the hard drive.
I also like the fact that MDaemon uses SQL Server
backend, so it runs off my database server, so if my mail server crashes, I
still have everyone's information and can turn on MDaemon on another server for
redundancy. As I said, much more scalable than MailEnable. They also
have a webmail skin that looks like the Exchange Web interface
(Outlook). Comes with listserver, ldap server, IMAP, and a built in spam
filter that is updated weekly.
My license of MDaemon is coming up for renewal next
month, so I'm looking again. If your small, then you can't beat the price
of mailenable, but as you grow you will have to buy more and more licenses and
install on other machines.
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Shaw Sent: Wednesday, May 31, 2006 8:35 AM To: Dallas/Fort Worth ColdFusion User Group Mailing List Subject: [DFW CFUG] Mail servers We are going to update our mail server. Of course, for a small
business, cost is always a concern. We have tried to find a Coldfusion
solution that will allow users to set up their own users, but have not had much
luck. We are looking at a piece of software called MailEnable.
Any comments or suggestions on mail server software. We
definitely are not interested in Exchange server
