As I understand it, QMP1.1.1r1 has lesser relay control capabilities
than SIMS. You may want to demo this for your client by using a good
relay tester like the abuse.net one to poke at his server. Those
issues may be addressed with the newer version of QMP, but if I read
the pricing right, upgrading 50 users and a server for 50 users is a
4-figure cost. It may also be that his current version and that hefty
upgrade cost is keeping him on an older version of MacOS.
On the other hand, as I understand it QMP does things SIMS does not
and almost surely never will. It has gadgetry akin to Exchange and
Notes that some offices really like. If his users are fond of those
features, switching is not an option. Of course, if they only really
need SMTP and POP3, SIMS is certainly an alternative to sticking with
a rather old piece of software or upgrading at a stiff price.
