My current email server is Stalker's excellent SIMS (Stalker Internet Mail Server), which is free. Now, I'm not adverse in any way to paying for software, heck, I've got thousands of dollars worth of 4D database licenses. But, Stalker is definitely targetting a much higher end customer than I am with Communigate Pro. I don't need webmail, list management, IMAP or any of the dozens of other wonderful features that Communigate Pro offers and I just can't justify the $1500 or so CDN that the license I would need will cost. I hope and pray every day that Stalker will come out with a lite version of Communigate Pro. I'd love to give them my money, they are a fabulous company with great products. Just not the right product for my needs going forward, financially at least. For those of you that haven't heard of SIMS, it's a great little email server, offering POP and SMTP with really strong anti-spam features and a very powerful router that is incredibly easy to set up and administer. It runs only on Classic Mac OS and Stalker has no plans to upgrade it at this time to run on OS X or any other flavour of Unix. I'll continue to run it for the time being, until I feel brave enough to step my foot into the nasty, confusing world of Open source MTA's or Stalker releases a stripped down version of Communigate.
