Looks good, but I don't see that is support SMTP Authentication
and, at a minimum, with CRAM-MD5. SMTP AUTH plain is stupid.
I bet, with no pleasure at all, that people will appreciate just how solid "basic IMail" is as they try to migrate to 2nd and 3rd tier products that Imail has beaten solidly for years.
eg, I've helped a lot of ISPs with DNS and mail problems over the years, and have had to tangle with some these 2nd rate mail packages. Made me appreciate Imail that much more.
One memorable beauty was somethingMax, mailmax or smartmax, that only logged to the screen, not to a file. "Little" gotcha's like that make Imail's mediocre logging (vs Unix logging) look awfully darn good.
People who come in here saying "x product only $199" give me shudders. Make your own complete checklist of what you have with Imail, then go try to match it elsewhere. Don't believe the other products "vs Imail" checklist.
I strongly suggest that people hang on to their Imail products they have now, put off the $$cost and inevitable customer disruption of replacing it, for as long as possible. The more you use your current Imail, the cheaper it gets.
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it". "Don't cut off your nose to spite your face (or Ipswitch)".
As I've already suggested, this disruption is an opportunity for windows-only people to ease into unix-only-for-smtp/dns by implementing free IMGate (it will prolong the life of your Imail box, hard and soft), get your feet wet (not feet to the fire) with *nix with immediate payback, and then leverage that *nix initiation into building your own opensource mailserver, but many months from now (absolutely no rush). There are many mature, solid choices for imap, pop, ldap, webmail (with apache for http), a-v, anti-abuse, with tons of how-to's, add-on's, web admin/user interfaces, and mailing lists just as helpful as the Imail list.
But, there not much choice for MTA. It's gotta be postfix :))
When I started IMGate (5 years ago), I chose postfix since it was much easier to configure than sendmail and qmail, and that is still true, while postfix has no compromises in functionality or speed.
