Just want to see what suggestions everyone may have for a Mail Server running Windows 2000 for hosting business???

Any choices better than the next???


Thanks,


Gary

I think it all depends on how much $$$ you are willing to spend..

Of course the less the better!!!!

Merak was the best solution for us. We have used it for over a year without any problems at all.

I was just looking and bench testing the IPSwitch IMail Server which looks pretty simple. Do you know anything about this?

With regard to the Merak, how many domains / users do you have installed???

I appreciate the help and suggestions you can provide...


Thanks,

Gary

We have been using Imail for about a 1 year now and no problems at all. I would recommend it. It is very easy for your clients to use. In fact we are just getting ready yo put another Imail server.

I heard ppl say that Imail smtp takes a lot of resource. Is it true?

We use Mail Enable. It's free from www.mailenable.com I believe. I also had my programmer add functions to the control panel so customers can create, delete, manage mailing lists, auto responsers and more.

Mdeamon works great

Mail Enable is slick on windows 2000 server =)

We also use IMAIL Mail Server. We haven't had any problems with it so far. I personally love it. I do notice it takes its share of resources when SMTP is being actively used. But overall it's the best thing I hae ever seen.

Later Gater...

:rolleyes:

We also like Mailenable.

Check out www.privatemail.com

What about mail programs for linux/unix - type servers? Any suggestions? Also, if you know of any free ones, let me know.

Please don't change the subject this thread is about.

Open your own thread please.

The topic is about mail servers (whether they are for windows or linux). If I were to create another thread topic, someone else would go and say "hey, why'd you open a new topic when you could have posted in the other one about mail servers?!"

Plus, I am helping get more answers to the request for windows mail servers because my post has brought the thread up higher so more people read it. I wouldn't think of that as a bad thing.

The most popular *nix MTA's that can be compiled for Linux are Sendmail, QMail, Exim, and Postfix. Just Google them for their sites. You should evaluate them on your own to find out which one fits your needs (not the needs of some random WHT poster ;)).

To go back on topic. We use Imail 7.12 haven't had any problems. Although it is a little pricey, I would certainly recommend it for the hosting industry.
