> rebuild the box (an old G3 desktop) with a fresh OS 9 and SIMS installs
Bad idea. SIMS' state-of-the-90s antispam options plus Mac OS 9's state-of-the-90s underpinnings are no longer a winning combination, alas. > replace the box with a new mac, OS X and communigate pro - or some > open source postfix thingy If you have 5 or fewer users, CGPro has a free community edition for you. If you have more, then that option could get quite expensive very quickly. I prefer Exim as an MTA, but it's worth checking out Mac OS X server, which at $500 for the 10-user edition delivers a pretty solid Postfix/Courier/Squirrelmail setup with a nice GUI front end. Be aware that Mac OS X is a very different beast from Mac OD 9: If you already administer Mac OS X boxen great; if not then allow for a learning curve. > replace the box with a linux box, run fedora and postfix/sendmail on it If you're an experienced Linux admin, this makes sense. If not, Mac OS X will probably be easier to learn and administer. -- Dave Pooser Cat-Herder-in-Chief, Pooserville.com "...Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in one pretty and well-preserved piece, but to slide across the finish line broadside, thoroughly used up, worn out, leaking oil, and shouting GERONIMO!!!" -- Bill McKenna ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[email protected]>.
