We are getting ready to plan a build out of equipement to better provide email & web services to our customers. I was wondering what would this mailing list would recommend for a email server software for up to 75,000 user capicity . Currently we have 20000 + customers ..but i would like to plan for growth for over the next 5 years. we have been growing at the rate of around 8000 users a year. Also the need for webmail , spam & virus filtering is a must I have in the past used sendmail & popper & imap-uw & squirrelmail w/ Freebsd and have had GREAT luck but this is with a much smaller customer base. all help and or advise is GREATLY appreciated thank you -- Brent Bailey CCNA Bmyster LLC Computer Networking and Webhosting Network Engineer, Webmaster, President http://www.bmyster.com mrb@bmyster.com 207-247-8330
