mail server service recommendation

Have a look at MailEnable[^]. They have a free Standard version so you can test the system before deciding to change to the Professional or Enterprise versions with added capabilities. We've used the Professional version for the last few years with nary a problem.

We have been using MailEnable for many years on a large volume of emails. MailEnable is easy to install and upgrade. By the way, the latest version cut spam by at least 99%. I used to receive nearly 1000 spam per day, and now I can count on my fingers the number of spam messages I get per day.

Google apps for your domain. Make someone else handle the problems.

I used Mercury for 10 years (www.pmail.com) The only reason I went over to msexcuse was because I got a phone with push email that mercury couldn't handle. Mercury has an excellent usenet group for any queries, and best of all it's totally FREE!! Tym.

Marc I know someone else has pointed out Google Apps for your Domain but there are a couple of things not mentioned: a) They now support IMAP (a great feature considering the way that Gmail is organised) b) Schools can apply for the full edition for free see here[^] (An interesting feature of enabling the IMAP support is that all the tags you have in Gmail are displayed as folders in the IMAP view). Plus you can delete stuff from your inbox and it doesn't actually get deleted from Gmail unless you open up the [Google Mail]/All Mail folder and delete them there. (It behaves like archiving the email).

I agree with two of the previous recommendations: hMailserver or Google Apps. If Google Apps had been out when I switched our school to hmailserver, I would have used Google Apps. However, hMailServer is very easy to administer and integrates with Active Directory (with no effort at all) and it was also relatively easy to setup & integrate SquirrelMail as a webmail access. Google Apps can also be "integrated" by exporting AD users to a .csv and then importing it into Google Apps. (We currently use Google Apps for the document storage and calendar features).

MDaemon is the mail server that I have used... pretty nice... but you have to pay for it...

I very highly recommend Tuffmail. IMAP email hosting is their business. They focus on that one thing and do it very well. The tech support is extremely knowledgeable and capable. And their pricing is very reasonable. http://www.tuffmail.com/[^] They also support POP3, of course, though I can't imagine why anyone would want that if they can have IMAP. And they don't use a low-end IMAP server, either - they use Cyrus (from CMU) which not only provides SIEVE server-side mail filtering/sorting (awesome) but also scales VERY well. It performs just as well with a 29,000-message Inbox as it does with 100 messages: fast. (Try that with Courier or UW-Imap! This is why I used Cyrus when I was in the web hosting biz.) I have no association or affiliation with them except as a very satisfied customer, and get no kickback for referrals.
