Hi Friends, I am planning to upgrade my mail server from CentOS4.5 to CentOS5. By this, I also planned to replace my postfix mail server with Scalix although the community edition limit me to just 25 premium user, I think it is suffice for us with the remaining user as standard user (with approx. <> 100 users total). Is there a catch on using Scalix based on your experience. I see that Horde is available from Dag's repository, do you think it is better for me to use that instead? Is there anyone using it that may share their gotchas and good points from their experience for me to prepare and be ready. Thank you in advance. junji aisalen.wordpress.com Linux Registered User #253162 Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com

Their is no native binary for package for centos, but the openpkg packaging work well on centos-5. All user are premium user on kolab and are not limited :-)> > junji > aisalen.wordpress.com > Linux Registered User #253162 > > > > Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos >-- Alain Spineux aspineux gmail com May the sources be with you

Administering it is cumbersome and trying to find a user's mailbox is problematic, not to mention other issues. Perhaps your experience would be better. ~James

I looked at horde webmail, but I had problems with html e-mails which my users will surely want to be able to read. No timetable yet, as I am currently beating on it myself before I let some users beta-test it. I wanted something that I could use with my existing mailscanner/sendmail/spamassassin setups as they work too well to abandon them. The old servers had openwebmail, but it uses direct mbox reads instead of IMAP, so it would prevent any future move to maildir. -- MailScanner is like deodorant... You hope everybody uses it, and you notice quickly if they don't!!!!
Have a look at http://zimbra.com. It has an open-source version with unlimited users. I've tried both it and scalix and much prefer zimbra.

[Fred Kienker] Scalix has announced starting with Version 11.3, to be released mid December 2007, the number of premium users available in the Community Edition will be reduced from 25 to 10. The number of standard users will remain unlimited for now. There is new commercial licenses available starting at 20 users to fill in the gap. You can continue to use Ver. 11.2 which will remain at 25 premium users forever, but there are several serious issues in this version which will not be addressed except by updating to 11.3. In our experience the most current version of the Community Edition tends to be beta test software - YMMV. Using any version of the Community Edition in a commercial or educational environment would not be a good idea without a paid for support contract from Scalix. -----------------------------Hi Fred and others, Thanks for enlightening me. I will check zimbra or kolab as other also had suggested. If there are others still who will may share ideas, please do so.
