Looking for mail server software...having little luck. I'm hoping that someone can suggest something that I may have missed. My requirements: - Multiple domains. I have two domains for which I want to host mail. - Identical usernames for different domains. In other words I was an account named "steve" on each domain, each with a seperate mailbox. POP3 username of "st***@thisdomain.com" or "st***@thatdomain.com". - Ability to check incoming mail against RBL lists such as bl.spamcop.net and relays.ordb.org. - Able to relay all outbound email through my ISPs SMTP server. - Provides a webmail interface, with the ability to host it using IIS if needed. Software I've looked at: - Argosoft Mail server - Doesn't provide a reliable/usable webmail interface. - ISMail server - Webmail doesn't run under IIS - RaidenMaild - Cannot duplicate usernames across different domains. - CMail server - No RBL support - Surge, Merak, MailEnable, mDaemon... all costly. I'd recommend MDaemon, yes it's costly but not nearly as costly as Exchange,
and is far more configurable and admin-friendly. If you want full-featured webmail then I don't know of a free solution that will give you that, at least not under Windows. Mercury is good in other respects but doesn't provide webmail. "Ian" <I**@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message I've used Mercury for years and it's a nice free package.

Mercury is good in other > respects but doesn't provide webmail. developing a webmail module for it, but their release cycle is slow (last release was almost 3 years ago.) http://www.pmail.com/whatsnew/m32401.htm Noozer wrote:

Yes they're both costly, but your requirements are a little above the 'entry level' and also, sometimes, you just have accept quality costs and you have to pay the freight if you want something good enough.

Ipswitch IMail Server. A fine product, very easy to use, can host
multiple domains, list server, spam and virus filtering, Web mail interface and more. Even runs on XP. Yes, you do have to pay some $$ for it, but you definitely get what you pay for. -Brad _______________________________________________ Bradley J.
