I have installed QMAIL , Vpopmail , courier-imap , Qmailadmin ,
Vqadmin, MySql , Spamassassin , clamav and Squirrelmail
under Redhat 9 / RHEL3 / FreeBSD 4.x 5.x each machine serve over 300 users.

> 5.  Must run on a RHEL ES 4 or 3 server.

> 2.  Cost to much
> 3.  Has a monthly charge to use it
> 4.  Want a per domain charge, which would again...cost to much since

> 5.  Won't work as just an email server.  It wants to be the whole

> server due to 10's of thousands of emails that our clients get and
> receive daily.

> A free solution would be the best option if available since the

> more than $20US a month.  VPOPmail
