*cough cough* QMAIL *cough cough*
After many many fights with Ipswitch about problems with iMail, with little to no
resolutions, I am switching our mail server that is running iMail out with a server
running qmail as rapidly as I can safely do so. I can duplicate EVERYTHING that iMail
does with it. If anyone thinks you can't, look at Hotmail. They ran qmail for years
until Microsoft took over and started moving the web mail portion of it over to IIS
and MS boxes. Sure, qmail will take me longer to set up. But it runs faster and more
reliably. PLUS it costs me exactly $0 to implement, outside the cost of hardware.
I'm not opposed to paying for software. I am opposed to paying DOUBLE my original
purchase price for a BUGFIX release of a product.
Ipswitch is RAPIDLY becoming the Microsoft of mail servers. Don't get me wrong. I
like Microsoft's products, to a certain extent.

Good god, so basically they're just charging for bug fixes. Lovely.
So, who makes good mail software?

I'm not sure --

I believe that the command line programs still must be run at the IMail
server (although with Windows 2000, you could use terminal services to
run
them remotely).
> ETRN support that works?
I hadn't heard anything wrong with ETRN previously. But, we don't use
ETRN
and haven't tested it with 7.0.

That's simply called "POP3 before SMTP", and I am not aware of that
being
added.
> Is the Web Admin seperate? Does it finally run under IIS Now?
Web admin, as far as I know, is handled in the same way (although there
have been some enhancements to it, such as system stats and user stats,
which is kind of cool).
