Perhaps it’s true, but for the sake of such a critical application as e-mail it would be more prudent to spend as much time as possible learning the ins and outs of the server and tuning it to your system and needs.Īt about 10 MB, the server is a modest broadband download that consumes approximately 30 MB of disk space after the initial install. We find this a slightly risky proposition.

Ipswitch is marketing IMail 8.0 as a “20-minute e-mail solution.” The implication is that IMail’s streamlined installation and setup process will get your e-mail server safely up and running in less time than it takes for a pizza to arrive. The latest generation of mail servers, including IMail from Ipswitch, are addressing the overall administration of e-mail servers and providing a phalanx of defenses against the spam onslaught. Current industry estimates measure the volume of spam as accounting for 40 percent of all e-mail traffic. While maintaining and administering a smooth-running e-mail server has always required non-trivial resources, the care and feeding of e-mail systems has become more demanding in recent years, as both the massive increase in overall e-mail use and the deluge of spam has literally flooded e-mail networks. E-mail has become a vital communications tool and, for many on the Internet, even more mission-critical than the Web alone. Hosting e-mail servers is a big responsibility. (Note: In November 2004, Ipswitch rolled IMail into its Ipswitch Collaboration Suite.) While the implication is that the server’s installation process is so streamlined that it can be up and running before lunch arrives, we recommend taking the time to learn the ins and outs of the server’s anti-spam and management capabilities. Ipswitch boasts that its latest version of IMail server installs in 20 minutes.
