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

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.

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
for the developers rather than did
they update/fix that web page.
Monitoring the host machines via SNMP
might be an idea. Any simple (but good) tool leap to mind?

Lets start at the high-level:
What question are you trying to

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?
Stay away from Open-E - its
closed and proprietary as far as expandability.
Its just Linux in Flash

faster NICs, and nickel and dime other options too. It only supports a
limited choice of approved hardware.

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.

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.
I do wish they

going because I don't want to get trapped by Microsoft's licensing going

Unfortunately not. Remember,

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

It also looks like they added subfolder handling

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
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
