Thanks, I'll have to checkout Smartermail. I would love to get rid of
running email, but I don't think management would let me. And I'm having
a love/hate relationship with my mail server right now. When it runs,
it just sits there and runs, when it's not, then I have some sleepless
nights.
How can you tell if a mail server isn't working? I haven't gotten any
email for 15 minutes, maybe the Spam filter is doing a good job, maybe
the server is broken, maybe I just didn't get any mail. <Yes, there
are monitoring programs in place>

SmarterMail is fine -- used to be only Windows (we run it on Windows),

But, if you ask me, y'all are crazy for running your own email
server(s) anyways. Host your corporate email at Google/O365/whatever
floats your boat, and politely tell your customers to get their email
elsewhere.
Cheers,
Josh

If you want just a barebones SMTP/IMAP/POP3/webmail server you may
want to roll your own like the old days. Postfix, Dovecot,
Roundcube, SpamAssassin, ClamAV, MariaDB.
Or believe it or not, there is a fork of the old Sun Cobalt
software (now open source) still around and actively supported.
Although it doesn't sound like you want to do web hosting, DNS,
FTP, etc. on the same box.

I've been using Merak/Icewarp email server for a long long time. Like
20+ years, it's just worked, and worked, and worked. The software has
been slowly migrating into becoming an MS exchange replacement
with Groupware/files/cloud, and has made just a simple
SMTP/IMAP/POP3/webmail server very difficult and expensive.
I know that moving systems is bothersome, especially with users
who might need to be 'touched' to update settings. But I think
it's time to start looking at other options.
Has anyone had to do this recently. What system did you migrate
to/from? I have a couple hundred users spread across about 50
domains.
