Support is good, and is pretty scalable. It's been a while since I've had to work with it, but from what I remember it's a decent platform for SMB's as well as ISP's. That is if you do not have the man-power/resources to build and admin a Postfix or Sendmail solution. It's also pretty trivial to add calander support, and spam/AV filtering, has a pretty decent scripting API (in PERL if I remember correctly) and a web-based client is included. As for large scale MTA's, I still think postfix or sendmail are really your only sane choices. They are both quite flexible, and do not lock you into one hardware/OS which some would consider a good thing. -p -- ~~o0OO0o~~ Pete Wright www.nycbug.org NYC's *BSD User Group
