Here's my two-cents....
I bought I-Mail about 1 year ago, installed, loaded, configured, forgot
about it.
We too are a small ISP, and our focus is on small to medium size businesses.
Almost
all of my customers use their own domain names. We run IMAIL using virtual
IPs for each
of our customers and all works fine. The admin interface is easy to
understand and can
be picked up in a few minutes if you are familiar with the NT environment.
Sure there are things I would like to have improved, like a better web-admin
interface, but
I use PCAnywhere and accomplish the same thing (yes, it is a little slow
when dialed in
but can't complain to much when I'm in-house). How about a snap-in for MMC ?
For the price you can't seem to beat it. I haven't upgrade to the new 5.x
version yet, heard it
was a little buggy, but almost all software is when it's released. Even
Microsoft has bugs in
Win98 that have roots in the original releas of Win95. Normally we wait for
the early adopters
to find all the bugs anyway, when I trial it it will be on a test server
anyway.
(Taking a breath)
In summary, No one program will be all to everyone and cost less than a
lifetimes earnings.
Take your needs, evaluate them closely, and try the trial versions. I know
IMAIL has one
available. If you install it, try it and like it maybe it's the prodcuct for
you, then again maybe
you will hate it. To each their own.
I'm hopefully that someday I too may outgrow all the products that we are
using today. ;)

Subject: Re: [NTISP] Imail vs post-office
I've just recently come on board as a small ISP this past May. I'm using
PostOffice v3.1.2 and recently started
experiencing the same problems with customer's mail downloads stalling.
I contacted Software.com and they
assured me it was an MS problem and that MS was fixing it with ver 5.0.
One of my customer's said she had
just recently switched from a different ISP to me and never experienced
the stalling (she's still using MS Outlook Express).
when she was with her other ISP. Appears to be a PostOffice problem at
this point?
I had some of my customers switch to Netscape Communicator and problem
went away. MS problem?
What gives? Maybe both of them have a problem? Will upgrading to a
newer version of PO help?

Understand..
I have installed their "patch" for the "." problem.. but that does
not solve my problem.. so I believe the problem is with Post.Office.. other
proof is, that the same customer can go to a ISP that is NOT using
Post.Office and get the exact same file that he could not get from me..
