Just out of curiosity, why did you choose Zarafa, over lets say
Zimbra ?
I am currently deploying zimbra on all my installs/clients, but i am
always looking for new solutions.

Whooo hoooo GUM!
Hey Doug,
Anyway I'm in the process of migrating from Exchange as we speak,
the setup I'm using is ASSP > Postfix > Zarafa
And I agree about mailscanner, and amavis, spamassassin = pain in
the arse That's why I like ASSP all of those rolled
into one nice SMTP transparent proxy ;) you should check it out.
Cheers,
Eric

Well, just my 2 cents, realistically, what's more of a security risk,
running webmin, or running windows server? :)
I'd actually put them about neck and neck. You basically asking to get
hacked either way, unless you really
lock down the webmin, but if you know enough to do that, then you
probably aren't running webmin.
As for mail, yeah what all would this mail server be doing? If you're
talking about using it in conjunction
with win 2k3 server, most people who do that use ubuntu/linux as the
filtering proxy, but maybe this person
is trying to migrate away from exchange...
If you're making a relay/filtering proxy, then I'd say postfix +
amavisd-new +clamd + spamassassin...
I wish I had an easier to configure option, but it seems the only
other major alternative is mailscanner,
which seems just as difficult to configure as amavis.
As for mail storage, seems like dovecot is the standard choice,
however, I've long been a huge fan of
dbmail. It's probably the easiest mail store to set up and maintain.
Plus it's very fast, and pretty easy
to scale (just need to know how to scale a db server).
Anyway, just my 2 cents :) Everyone keeps chipping in their 2 cents,
and we'll soon have enough to buy
a pack of gum!
