 | View Full Version : Looking for good Win32 mail server. switch 06-15-2002, 09:46 PM Hey, I'm finishing up a dev server on a WinXP Pro box (Running Apache), and I'm looking for a good mail server to finish everything off. Something in the freeware department would be great, but I would be willing to drop some coin for something fantastic. Any ideas? Thanx :) ADEhost 06-15-2002, 10:54 PM route the mail to a linux box LOL Mike switch 06-15-2002, 11:52 PM LMFAO! roly 06-16-2002, 05:50 AM Argosoft Mail server Theres a lota discussion about it at http://www.dslwebserver.com forums:) switch 06-16-2002, 06:46 AM Sweet! Thanks a ton! I'll go check it out :D kwimberl 06-16-2002, 08:31 AM Two suggestions: iMail MDaemon Both are good and have their own advantages. iMail has a better web interface I think while MDaemon's anti virus module is great. We run both on different servers... wmac 06-16-2002, 02:12 PM Merak mailserver is the cheapest high quality email server for windows. I have forgotten the URL but you can find it on google. You can have a unlimited domain/users version for about $200. Mac RyanK 06-16-2002, 10:04 PM Other the other hand MailSite or Exchange is really good but very expensive, we've automated everything at GearHost so I guess it depends on what's easier to maintain and work for your clients but both are costly. wmac 06-17-2002, 09:30 AM Exchange needs a whole server (a powerful server) and I think it is not suitable if you need a mailserver only. Other mailservers (such as mdaemon, imail, merak) can do mailserver job with less than 10% of exchange's cpu load. Mac RyanK 06-17-2002, 10:40 AM True but it's all based on what your requirements are. Exchange is extremely reliable and expandable as well as programmable. Again it's an expensive solution, like I said and doesn't fit everyone's needs where maybe a iMail server can. Basically it's all based on what your hosting company does and needs. Jordan 06-17-2002, 06:12 PM Merak rules, go no further, massivly better than Imail. Adam_S 06-17-2002, 08:21 PM MainEnable (www.mailenable.com). The standard version is free and I haven't found a fault in the tests I've made so far. I rate it up there with Merak and Imail. (Stephen) 06-17-2002, 10:21 PM I would also look into XMail www.xmailserver.org There are some GUIs to help set it up now, it used to be config file. It's very powerful, and cross-platform. [edit] and I forgot to mention, it is free. los 06-20-2002, 07:24 PM check out ntmail http://www.gordano.com it's bit on the expensive side but works nicely eddy2099 06-22-2002, 07:19 AM Here is one free or cheap Win Mail Server http://www.argosoft.com/applications/mailserver/ Rochen 06-22-2002, 09:51 AM I recommend iMail :) iamdave 06-22-2002, 09:09 PM MailMax - http://www.smartmax.com/ iMail |
