I haven't seen anyone else bring this up...
We are looking for a new mail server to dump Imail. I think everyone knows
the reasons, so I won't rehash history.
Our customer base is very horizontal and ranges from clueless newbies to
advanced developers.
Because we have many users that took a
It's called Postini Message Center :-)
Seriously, the lack of user self-service for adjusting settings and the
lack of more automatic set-it and forget it system level options (along
with wanting to be completely freed from Imail or any replacement MTA
engine) has finally shifted the balance for
Thank you for the detailed analysis - We have been considering SmarterMail
as a migration path from IMail but will probably go slow until they grow
up a bit more.
How about open source? I seem to recall there are a few open source mail
servers based on decent code (ASP.NET) that run on Windows
Hi,
I have a question for those of you that are using SmarterMail.
We are looking at the software to determine how we can link it to our user
creation process.
Currently, we have both classic asp (ASP not ASP.NET) and php scripts that
create users by POSTing to a form. The back-end of the form
ROTFL
A real-world example of the disconnect between the technologists building
all these tools and the reality of how much work sysadmins and the real
users have to go thru to deal with the limitations of current anti-spam
solutions.
And I assume, this is after the best tweaks and config
The community support for
SmarterMail is much smaller (or at least quieter).
We are running one SM server for a client
and Ive posted several questions on the SM support forums and have not
received any responses at all.

I guess not everyone has had the pleasure of waiting in line for hours for
a printout (batch processing mainframes) to find just a few terse lines with

That's why ABEND sticks in one's mind for many many years if you've had to

Bah, we just NEVER dropped our card

According to SmarterTools site, version 3 is finally out.
Im anxious to hear if the port 587
stuff is working right, among all the other new things this one is important
catch-up feature with Imail.
It also looks like they added subfolder handling
to smtp and pop just like Imail.
One limitation in SmarterMail is you can't turn off the built-in webmail
commands for mark as spam which is used to build the spam/ham queues for
the internal Bayesian filters.
Since we aren't using the SmarterMail filters, this is basically a confusing

Matt, get the facts before you rant.
If you are running a business then
you should be adhering to the rules. I cant believe you have been
hosting sites/email services for so long and not been aware of SPLA.
I think your rant is totally
offbase. Let me give you (and others lurking)
Unfortunately not. Remember,
thats a shared sql server account not a dedicated sql server for
$9.95/month. If somebody wants to put 500 sql accounts on a single Celeron
server, well, caveat emptor.

What version are you using? The Current versions are Livestats.XSP or
Livestats.NET versions are V8.xx
The earlier versions were a lot more buggy - this version is very solid
since they eliminator the collector tasks and just use direct file access
or ftp to access the log files.

BTW - almost all web analytic tools offer embedded tracking options in
lieu off, or in addition to, log file parsing.

Haven't tried it, but the support costs look astronomical.
Have you considered SmarterMail? Many IMail customers have switched to
SmarterMail as it integrates fairly well with Declude, has most of the
existing features of IMail, and has many other features still not supported
in IMail.
It's
Stay away from Open-E - its
closed and proprietary as far as expandability.
Its just Linux in Flash
module with a GUI. They charge extra to use a hardware raid controller,
faster NICs, and nickel and dime other options too. It only supports a
limited choice of approved hardware.

Lets start at the high-level:
What question are you trying to
answer?
e.g:
Are the developers
spending enough time doing the work they should be doing?
Are the developers doing
things they should not be doing?
Are the developers competent
and performing their job properly?

Correction David B, Postini offers a great product, it's Declude with the
product that is questionable.
We switched most of our services over to Postini and have been glad to avoid
the bugs, crashes, and huge price hikes of Declude. In comparison, as our
Postini volume grows, our costs are

I'd be curious to hear if Sandy or anyone has compared db mirroring to
double-take and other solutions that made sense before this feature was
available but may be less desirable now.

Database mirroring is not the same as
clustering. You dont need the same kind of resources and licenses.

SPLA licensing is very affordable. There are no SPLA licenses for many
3rd party products so staying with Microsoft is actually cheaper if you
are a service provider.

And of course, you need to be using the new SQL server 2005 native
