Mail server with minimum of configuration

If you are in need of your own mail server, but don't want to pay for Microsoft Exchange, yet don't want to spend hours building one by hand - here is a good alternative "MailServer Appliance" from AllradSoft. It is your basic FreeBSD distribution with all the right mail server software preinstalled and ready for use. All you need to do is enter your domain name, add users and make appropriate DNS/Domain entries with your registrar.

This virtual appliance runs on VMWARE and features: mail aliases, quatas, spam filtering, anti-virus filtering, IMAP/POP3/SMTP, webmail, SSL connections, certifactes, auto-updating of all the spam/virus signatures, easy server update process, MySQL database, web management, and more.

A free version allows you to have 1 domain and 10 mailboxes. For $99 you will get a license to have unlimited users and domains as well as ISO for instals on actual hardware (not in virtual machine) ! And that is cheap considering amount of hassle it saves.

 This is a great product that I use myself (free version) for some simple mail hosting. It works as advertised and has saved me a lot of time in front of the computer while trying to figure out how to put all of these packages together myself, by hand and not have such a nice system at the end. So if you need a mail server - give this package a try and I'm sure you will like it
