Re: FN-FORUM smtp server

date posted 3rd September 2002 10:58

Looks like the PostCast server may be your best option then. I need to have
a look at it myself as it didn't seem to be around when I last looked for a
windows based server.

Otoh, when looking at mdaemon and the like, the licensing costs are such
that I woul consider installing a linux/bsd box specially for the job. This
has the advantage of being ab;e to use cheap (second hand or new) hardware
and would be as standard as they come. Also if you want SSL/TLS, POP3, IMAP,
webmail or just about anything else, you can add it for free and not worry
about per user licensing.

Mind u, u may have to spend some time leatning the systems, but I believe
that could be time well invested.
