None of the Windows mail servers listed above or the others such as
Mailsite, MDaemon, Merak, etc. are capable of more than 10-20k active
users. Forget about 500k with any you have listed. If you want a solid mail
server which WILL handle 500k users and will run on Windows and most *nix
platforms, look at Surgemail from http://www.netwinsite.com It is
incredibly scalable and VERY fast. It uses a spam assassin-like filter
which is written in C so it is at least 20-100 times faster than spam
assassin and 95% as effective. It includes support for AVAST anti-virus and
the webmail program is powerful, fast, and includes support for PGP. It is
an AWESOME product and the support and developers are top notch too. I
don't have any vested interest in the company, but I am a very happy
customer. (They also make DNews which many people here are probably
familiar with)
