I wanted to know if anyone here uses MailMax for their mail server, and if so how well do you like and does it work well?
 | View Full Version : any one using MailMax? sdamron 08-15-2002, 03:51 PM I know this is an old post... but... my opinion on mail max is that it trashes your server. I purchased and installed it, within about 20 minutes it had processor utilization up to 75% and with only 3 people logged in testing it. I would use something like Merak. Their webmail will also spike processor if used with a mail server other than Merak, but with Merak, it is superb. my 2 cents. Scott achost_ca 08-16-2002, 02:14 AM IMO mailmax should NEVER be used on a production server. I've heard of cases, similar to the one posted above, where it totally wrecked the server. mlovick 08-17-2002, 06:12 AM It is true - I installed Mailmax and it worked fine until we popped the server then the server would just re-boot itself! Total CRAP. And the tech support just did not have a clue what the problem was PLUS its expensive. I agree with sdamron MERAK rocks. smperik 08-17-2002, 03:58 PM question... can merak be installed on a linux box or is it still windows based? achost_ca 08-17-2002, 04:16 PM windows based if im correct. if im not, please say so. edb49 08-17-2002, 04:26 PM Did you try to contact the developers at all about the 75% CPU usage? |
