RE: [Slightly OT] Enterprise-ready email server

This is a great question.....something I am needing to know as well.

We are currently using a commercial product that was recently bought out
by another company and that company is no longer offering support for
this one line of product. So we are stuck holding the bag so to speak.

We are looking for a viable enterprise ready email webmail type product.

Anyone supporting more then 20,000 users?

Sorry to jump in but this is a great question
