"SmarterTools standard version protection policy covers all purchases made
within 45 days of that product's major release. "

If you are going to be buying SM - best to do so before the release. I have
heard the target date is 15 March.

PS. Just in case you thought of going anywhere else. You want to buy your SM
from Declude ;)

If you are going to purchase SmarterMail, you may want to wait a little as
they are about to release a new version.  5.x is currently in beta.

Hi,


Ø  Alexander, you are really citing two problems with your scale and
performance.
That's true, and I'm sure I will install IMail 8 on the new server to get
an easier migration. (and to be sure, to work on just one case)
That's the thing I must do, exchange the hardware. To small disks, to slow
CPU. RAM would be ok.
The second part (Update the Software) would be nice, even if there will be
more support calls after upgrading.


Ø  My suggestion is that both problems would be relieved by introducing a
mail gateway in front of your mailboxes. In the Windows world, Alligate and
XWall are popular with Declude/Sniffer users on this list and the Sniffer
support list. With either one, I think you will find that the gateway will
take the brunt of the antispam effort, leaving the back-end server to
service mailbox connections and requests.
We use NoSpamToday as a front end server, and this lowers the incoming
spam very well.

The "problem" is, we are getting more and more customers :-) and they all
want a good working email system.


Ø  If your existing hardware is old, you could replace the fans and disks
and have it become your new gateway, while you purchase some new hardware
for your back-end, which will scale much higher than before once the
back-end has to do less antispam processing.
We bought a new piece of hardware for the frontend Antispamserver.....


Ø  p.s. Did you have a third problem? Were you implying that the
feature-set of IMail is no longer to your liking?
Is there anyone really using IMail 9? Especially if you had Imail 8
before?

I'm paying about 1000$ every year, and I haven't seen a really good
working version of IMail since 8.22.
I tried it on my testserver, put some domains on it, and it didn't worked
like it should.
I called support, mailed support and it was not getting better.
So I put it away and tried it some month later again. IMail 9 was (is)
getting better and better, but still it's not as stable as I want it.

Today I installed Smartermail and it's nice, easy to handle, has a nice
webinterface, and it's *cheap*.
I thought about dumping the IMail SA and buy Smartermail for that price :)

That's the reason for the Mail. IMail 8 is working, but it's old.
And I think, there could be a better software than IMail 8 :-)

Alex

Hello,

we are going to move to an new hardware.

At the moment we are running Imail 8, Declude, Sniffer. It works, but Spam
detection is not perfect and overall system performance is getting worse.

Should we

-          wait for IMail 10?

-          use IMail 9?

-          stay with Imail 8?

-          move to Smartermail?

We host about 200 domains, with about 2000 Mailboxes.

Alex
