No one talks much about it, are there inherent problems with it? I've found it to be reliable, configurable and flexible so I hope I'm not missing something... As for email platforms, I use a product called 'CommuniGate Pro' ( http://www.stalker.com/ ) Its closed source and can cost so serious money as the licenses grow but it powerful and fast, providing SMTP/POP3/IMAP/Web Mail and other features in both secure and insecure contexts.
