If you are considering open source, look at Qmail. I have not used it
myself but have heard very good things.

Also open source is BlueQuartz. They have a great user interface for
managing users, subusers, domain administrators, etc...

Of course, you would have to set up these on an individual server.

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.

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
