I agree with
Eli. Qmail is great. Our little company uses it to host the mail for
several domains. Very nice. Very solid.

It is the result of Novell open sourcing NetMail and paying some
developers to work on it. It is definitely going to be an excellent
piece of work as it matures more, though NetMail was a pretty solid

you are considering open source, look at Qmail. I have not used it

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.
Thanks,
