We are currently using Imail 7.15 and looking at upgrading to v8. We are a small web presence provider that provides hosting for our client sites we develop.
For about 5 years now, we have had imail running on the same server as our webserver. Sites either have dedicated IP's or are ipless (virtual). In both cases, the webserver and the mailserver share the same IP. So we do not use unique IP's for the mail of a domain. While imail is very efficient in its procesess, other services on the server are not (coldfusion in particular). We are looking at moving Imail to a box separate from the webserver. This would allow us to deal with webserver issues and not interfere with mail services (seems obvious, doesn't it?!). I am assuming that if we do this, each mail domain will need its own IP address and that we will just change the mx record of each domain to the dedicated ip address on the new box. So now domain.com will be at an ip on the webserver (or ipless on the webserver) and the mail.domain.com will be at a dedicated ip on the new server. We would have all the mail for these domains on the same box (for now). Unfortunately, IP addresses are relatively expensive at our colo. So my question is, am I making the correct assumption in this scenario or is there another way to handle this? We are talking about 60 domains or so.
