Subject: [IMail Forum] Switching Over


As someone that is becoming increasingly dissatisfied with IPSwitch's
technical support of their products and the numerous problems with their
products that they, for some reason, expect their users to find and
troubleshoot for them, I will be getting off of the iMail platform.

Everyone bashes Microsoft for their buggy software and gives them a hard
time because "they expect the users to be their beta testers", but nobody
has said one word to IPSwitch about this.

I have already moved one of my high volume sites over to qmail running under
Red Hat Linux.  Next week I will be moving my personal site, then my low
volume sites.  The reason for me doing it in the reverse order is that the
high volume site does not need a web interface and my low volume ones do.  I
already have the packages picked out and am beta testing them as I write
this.

After I am done, I will be writing a quick and dirty "how to" document on
how to set up a web enabled qmail mail server from scratch.  I chose qmail
because it is a very robust package that has see ALOT of use in VERY high
traffic situations.  Hotmail was originally ran on qmail, amy may still be.
Critical Path uses qmail.  Qwest uses qmail.  Those are just a few of the
high volume mail sites that use it.  My document won't help you troubleshoot
problems, but it will help you to get away from this very flawed mail
platform.

The BEST part of all of this is that I set up my high volume mail server for
JUST the cost of the hardware.  The rest was all free, as in beer, software.
AND, I did it (without the web interfaces), in about an hour.  Most of that
time was spent waiting for things to compile and downloading the apropriate
packages.  When a new version of qmail comes out, the author doesn't drop
support for the previous version like IPSwitch does.

I realize that this e-mail may appear to be flame-bait and may receive aa
large percentage of flamers.  That is not my intent.  My intent is to show
that there ARE other relatively simple mail solutions and that iMail isn't
the only game in town and that IPSwitch REALLY needs to get their act
together if they want to be competative and keep market share in the cut
throat software business.
