E-Mail Servers
Ive been looking into moving all my users to a stand alone Email Server for some time.
I have about 10,000 email accounts/users over 200~ domains. Each account has on avg 200MB per box.
Key features:
Mobile OK web/imap/pop3
Admin per domain, and multi domain.
Spam/Virus
Plus+
users of same domain/or allow access can share Calendars, Notes, Address book, etc. Anything 'public'.
Platform can be on FreeBSD/RHEL or W2k3. No real budget set, just doing some planning and development right now.
Ones iv been peeking on..
zimbra.com
MS Exchange
@mail
mailsite.com
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pocomy
Few other open source options.
Hardware:
Multi core CPU
OS 64bit
4GB+ ram
HD Raid10 4TB.. 2TB NAS avail..
Any other options i might be missing?? Any recommendations?

If you've got some money behind you, you can't go wrong with MS Exchange on Win2k3

First you should decide which OS you are more comfortable with administration and securing, then decide on which application meets your needs also if it can handle the load.

Its a beast, learning curve. But most likely the best bet.
I'm pretty well versed in FreeBSD/RHEL win2k3. I was just basing it off the App first.
Each server is running a different control panel, or none. But i made a script for IMAP to login as the user and move/upload the emails for the user. So that helps
Any takers of this size of project??

ATMail looks like a viable option in many respects. One of our clients is using it for about 50k users and seems to be very happy with it
