Who's got the best features, reliability, webmail interface, spam/antivirus protection, end user usability, admin usability, resource usage, disaster recovery/backup?

Any opinions?

SmarterMail, in terms of features. It is more comparable to Merak, with lots of features, than of ME.
Though Mailenable Std is free =)

But attention: SmarterMail Pro costs $200 for 50-domain version, $300 for 250-domain and $500 for unlimited. Yet Mailenable Pro costs $180 for unlimited. Merak pricing is a bit more complicated, but the competitive version (with SM and ME features) is around $460.

Don't forget that HELM licenses over $200 bought up to midnight today will still qualify for a FREE 50-domain version of SmarterMail AND SmarterStats.

Thanks. I am leaning slightly towards MailEnable even though I own lisences for SmarterMail. I like their webmail interface over SmarterMail's, and it seems to be easier to translate into my language. Also they have a more active user/developer community, and have been really quick to answer any of my questions.

One thing that really annoys me on MailEnable is that you cannot set queue pooling time (message reprocessing) to less than 1 minute.
