Petar, I could not agree more with you. We also used PostOffice and moved over to vopmail and now modusmail and modusgate. The quality of the modus products is very very far from what we were used to with PostOffice. We also use more and more Linux with open source software here and are very happy with these solutions. The quality of large open source projects is very often far better than of comparable commercial products. Our policy since approx. 1 year is that no commercial product will be changed by another commercial prodcut where a good open source product is available as sooner or later you will end at the same place with the commercial solutions. However there surely are also exceptions. Getting used too Linux takes some time but its worth it. Christian P> Agreed. A product is better than no product.
