I know this is not the place to ask this, but what are other good options to run for mail other then Sims? For OS 9 or OS X?
For classic MacOS (8 or 9, i believe) Eudora Internet Mail Server still has some adherents and the commercial version seems pretty feature-rich. I can't really recommend it or not given that I have not ever worked with a situation where it was even worth a deep evaluation, but it has its fans. There are also still people using AppleShare IP as a mail server, but I would not even looking that way for fear of the psychosis being contagious...
On the Unix (i.e. OS X) side, there are stacks of good options for different situations. Sendmail itself is just an MTA, so you have to pair it with POP3 and/or IMAP servers for local deliveries, and there are multiple implementations of both available. Courier is a nice freeware suite (MTA and mailbox servers) and Postfix would be in general my second choice after sendmail. (first choice for some cases...)
On the commercial side, Sendmail Inc. has a reasonable offering of the MTA with a config GUI as well as a message store and multiple front ends (i.e. IMAP, POP3, webmail) for it plus a bunch of strap-on gadgetry to do a wide range of things with the mail stream. I mention that because I happen to be working with it at one site right now, but frankly I'm not impressed. Stalker has a much slicker package in Communigate Pro. I'm not aware of any other commercial mail systems offered on OS X, but there may be others. IMHO most people are better off sticking to mature freeware than going with the commercial packages except when they have particularly tough integration, scaling, or support needs.
