What kind of mail server do you need? Do you need pop or imap? do you need webmail or not? how many users do you have? will you be doing virus-scanning and spam filtering or not? what hardware will you be running this server on? how much mail do you deal with?
Sorry to be so useless, but the answers do sort of depend on some of these.
OK sorry to be so loose in the spec.
Basically looking at around 150 people who need POP3 access, no webmail needed and some external users could look at using IMAP+SSL. * Virus Scanning is a necessity as are mailing lists * spam-filtering would be good (although we already have Brightmail filtering at the ISP-level). * The hardware is yet to be decided, but something quick ;-) * Haven't established exact mail counts, but possibly around 1000-2000 a day (mostly internal)
(although, spamassassin seams to have run out of steam for me, anyone got any good anti-spam software suggestions?)
I'd be interested in suggestions too, I understand that bayesian-filtering doesn't scale well in corporates?
Cheers David.
