[OPLINTECH] E-mail Programs

[Karen Perone]

Call me old-fashioned, but I've been using Netscape's email program for 
years. It has a great filtering program that you can set up to remove 
the junk and it learns what to consider junk as you moved things to the 
junk folder.

As for a mail server, we set up a Windows-based server called M-Daemon 
from alt-n technologies 
(http://www.altn.com/products/default.asp?product%5Fid=MDaemon). It was 
reasonably priced, easy to set up and maintain, can be monitored via a 
web interface and has a virus protection add-on. It uses SpamAssassin as 
a built-in anti-spam feature. If spam gets through, the users (using 
web-based mail) can send the message to the spam folder to train the 
program. It's really working well for us.
