Actually, if you want to get TECHNICAL, most of those things can also be done in QMT:

1 - a Unique Message ID is created when the server receives each message -- and the message ID is the filename used by VPOPMAIL to store the message (or at least PART of the filename). Of course, to SEE the message ID (file name, etc), you'll need access to the QMail files and folders.

2 - Tracking & Status are handled by the QMail logging feature -- and detailed logs are kept for each process. You can adjust the level of detail. The only tricky part is that the Admin user who wants to view these logs will need shell access, or else web access to the log folders & files.

3 - Using QMT and the VPOPMAIL utilities, an Admin can easily maintain and modify the settings (including quotas) for each user

4 - Here's the tricky one... Using shell commands and the QMail logs, an Admin certainly can determine overall user activity -- but the logs will need to be more detailed than the default setting, and the Admin will need a shell account in addition to the QMail account.

So you see, depending on how you INTERPRET the requirements, QMT can satisfy the requirements with little change!

There ARE ways to outsmart even LAZY requirements writers (e.g.: the ones that copy requirements from feature lists!)

Just my thoughts...

PS: Throw in an additional kicker -- QMT can support separate Admins for each Domain -- so that different e-mail domain admins can be completely locked out of domains that they are NOT admins for.

Dear Eric,

Yes these requirements are made by the customer. I know exchange server has
all these features but just wanted to check if other mail servers like Qmail
etc. can provide all these features or not as Exchange Server will be a
costly affair.

Anil Aliyan
