I went to them to discuss 300-500,000 users, right after dovecot was acquired by OpenXChange. The terms were onerous, to say the least. It was straight per-user pricing with no flexibility for non-standard usage patterns. Mostly they wanted to talk about OpenXChange, in which I have absolutely no interest.
I walked away undecided: would I look at developing my own object storage back-end for dovecot and open-source it? Or would I abandon dovecot entirely? I'm still undecided. > On Sep 28, 2015, at 6:18 AM, Paolo Cravero <paolo.crav...@csi.it> wrote: > > >> Timo Sirainen wrote: >> Our typical projects have several million user accounts.
