We use SquirrelMail for all our secondary school e-mail servers, and our district e-mail server. Works quite nicely, especially if you take the time to go through their extensive list of plugins, configure it to use an SQL backend for personal addressbooks and preferences, and set up a good spam-filtering MTA in front of it. Using Cyrus for the IMAP server with SIEVE filtering enabled, and using the avelsieve plugin for SquirrelMail gives you a beautiful server-side filter setup (that also includes smart vacation/out-of-office autoresponder features). SIEVE works so much nicer than procmail, maildrop, and client-side filtering. The only downside is that there is an artificial limit of about 50 filters in the current version of avelsieve. But, using AND/OR in the filters allows you to do a lot with only 50 individual filters. :) There's even a shared caledars plugin if you need low-end groupware features. -- Freddie Cash fcash@ocis.net
