Smile E-mail systems/services


I'm trying to get an email system working (more for R&D than production use) and I would like some suggestions/opinions on what servers/services to use. I'm using Ubuntu 8.04LTS Server with the Gnome-Core GUI, as lightweight as possible.

So far I have looked at a postfix > dovecot > egroupware scenario but I cannot get this working correctly. I have also seen Exim, Courier and a few others dotted about but am not sure what to try next. I like Egroupware as is seems to be a sold groupware solution (and we already have a few implementations of it by the previous engineer).

Any opinions, suggestions from anyone who's had experience with email systems, especially from anyone who has spent time with Egroupware?

Much appreciated.

Yep, I am continuing down that line but I am also interested in suggestions for anything else that anyone has had experience with. Thanks for your help though.

Hi guys.
Thought I'd add Zimbra to this discussion. I've been watching Zimbra get better and better over the past 2 years... www.zimbra.com
The AJAX webmail interface is simply amazing. There's an open-source (badge-ware, yahoo public license) version, and also a commercial edition with all sorts of proprietory goodies (Activesync / blackberry support etc)
Version 6 is being worked on and should be released April sort of time.

We're planning to migrate from Exchange SBS 2003 (gah!) to Zimbra later in the year (25 users)

Hope this helps
