Linux or FreeBSD, I am putting in a good word for @Mail - if you want commercial software. It relies on Exim+Courier-imap+SpamAssassin+Clamav.. (www.calacode.com) Linux only - Try the Open Source version or even the commercial version of Zimbra (www.zimbra.com). Zimbra is not my first priority though. For pure open source (uses Exim, courier, SA, DSPAM, MySQL) try http://silverwraith.com/vexim). I have run this for years with over 2000 domains, each with average 10 users! -Wash http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html DISCLAIMER: See http://www.wananchi.com/bms/terms.php -- +======================================================================+ |\ _,,,---,,_ | Odhiambo Washington <wash@wananchi.com> Zzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ | Wananchi Online Ltd. www.wananchi.com |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-'| Tel: +254 20 313985-9 +254 20 313922 '---''(_/--' `-'\_) | GSM: +254 722 743223 +254 733 744121 +======================================================================+ We're only in it for the volume. -- Black Sabbath
