Hello Brian, As I patiently await a stable version of SME Server 8, I would recommend Zimbra Open Source version (on CentOS 5.7). To note, I was able to beat all those impossibilities including customizing the look, one install can handle enough domain names, had a messenger, adding disclaimers, etc. Basically, there is control of your entire system.
The stability and limited hardware resource requirements of SME Server (for a basic install) is why I still look forward play more on the stable version, add more plug-ins, stress it. # Edmonds On Wed, May 9, 2012 at 11:26 AM, Brian Ssennoga <[email protected]>wrote: > > Community, > Still a chilly mid-morning from Kampala. > > I am steadily falling out of favour with SME - and 2 of my very trusted > buddies have pitched strongly for Zimbra ( > http://www.zimbra.com/products/compare_products.html) and Qmailtoaster ( > http://www.qmailtoaster.com/). > > I also happen to have a discussion with Google Apps, to secure Apps for > EDU. > > Our values are simple - we will use FOSS, and look elsewhere in the event > that its SIGNIFICANTLY better and/or cheaper (without discounting features). > > We are a University, and so we are growing - and I must think about a > solution that will serve well into the next 5 years, for an exponential > growth of users.
