We are in the process of evaluating IMAIL 6.02 on a Windows 2000 SMP
multi-homed system. So far so good. We don't have tons of accounts yet, but
are planning on quite a few in the future. We have yet to run across a
problem. It looks like IMAIL disables, or at least it shuts off the built in
SMTP service after it is installed. I don't recall shutting it down myself,
yet it is now turned off. I'm not sure how it would interact with the SMTP
service of Windows 2000, but I'm fairly certain you will not be able to use
both IMAL and Windows 2000 SMTP on the same IP address (due to the same
ports being used). I would simply use IMAIL, and forget the built-in
functionality. If it breaks FP functionality, have a separate IP for each
web site and mail service, use the SMTP service on the http IP address, and
IMAIL on the mail IP address. (I am no expert, just guessing)
So far the only problem we have is an interaction between one of our Windows
98SE systems and the Windows 2000 server that is very strange. We are using
the same server for a Network Address Translator for our internal network,
and periodically that one machine causes the NAT to stop working. Otherwise
everything has been flawless.
Check out www.markwyman.com, that is where the test server is running from
right now.
Also www.thisiswrong.com, www.atticarodandgun.com, and www.provovillas.com
We have e-mail under each of these as well, although only 3-4 accounts
currently under each.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Windows 2000 Experiences?
I have been evaluating IMail, and plan on purchasing it soon. However, the
server will most likely be converted to Windows 2000 soon. Has anyone had
any experiences (good or bad) running IMail on Win2000? Has anyone had any
issues with IMail co-existing with the Win2000 SMTP server?
Thanks in advance for any help,
