so my SIMS box has become unreliable of late. what should i do?
i have several options at hand:
rebuild the box (an old G3 desktop) with a fresh OS 9 and SIMS
installs
replace the box with a new mac, OS X and communigate pro - or some
open source postfix thingy
Always a good idea.
replace the box with a linux box, run fedora and postfix/sendmail
on it
Well, replace Fedora with FreeBSD. Yes, I like FreeBSD more than
linux, but that's not why I am recommending it, rather that OS X is
BSD based, so there is much more similarity between them, so a
gentler learning curve.
I went from SIMS on a 6200 and 8.6 to a FreeBSD machine running
postfix, spamassassin, postgrey, and squirrelmail. Works a treat.
Upgrading, even with ports, is still a nightmare at times, but it
allowed me to do something with a $99 Lindows PC that didn't require
spending any more money on it.
