We have just bought Joydesk for a free mailservice that we are rolling out, which will auth against any SQL db. Its primary dev platform is on FreeBSD and its pretty well tested. See http://www.joydesk.com. MY present mailserver is CommuniGate pro http://www.stalker.com/CGatePro.html which is one of the best servers I have ever seen and now can auth against LDAP. This is very beautifull in that you can define Domain Level Admins and just set the limits on a per domain basis and let the domain owner add/delete accounts and all that stuff and not care about what and how many accounts each domain has. It has saved us many man hours in setup of email here. -- Micheal O Shea Email:micheal@com4u.ch com4u.ch http://www.com4u.ch Breitistrasse 7B PGP key available upon request.
