Subject: RFC: Post.Office as sendmail replacement

I'm currently evaluating the Post.Office 2.0 product from
www.software.com as a replacement for sendmail on our
internet email server.

So far I am quite impressed with the product's features:

- runs as non-priviledged user (they claim you could run 
  it right on your firewall)
- uses a slick WWW interface for everything (no messing 
  with the sendmail.cf)
- is an official Solaris certified product
- I can create POP mail accounts so users don't need a 
  UNIX account to receive email.
- its pretty cheap - < $1000 for 100 user license.

If anyone has a firsthand opinion on the product, I'd like to
hear it.

Will summarize the responses,

Thanks,

PS: Is there a website that offers a service to attack your 
firewall and send you an email report of the results?
