I have been having intermittent problems with my mail server.
I am using Mercury Mail and it has largely been working fine, but I have had it hacked once to make it an open relay and now it has lost all the config settings. It's an odd program which works fine when it works...
I am considering using something else.
I have half a dozen local mail accounts together with a forum that generates mail. This is sent though my smtp server. Mail is stored in my ISPs POP3 boxes and are then retrieved by the server, stored locally and then accessed.
I need the server largely because of the forum. It is also nice connecting to the accounts via IMAP which then allows remote access on various devices.
I use my ISPs pop3 boxes because I don’t want mail bouncing if my server goes down.
I have toyed with using exchange which is know is overkill, but the last time I looked it didn't support POP3 boxes. I have been recommended Merak and I am looking though the documentation for that.
Any suggestions?
