And the word is "That is how the system was designed." They know the inside and out of their system. I have also spoken to the truly wonderful (not being sarcastic) support on this issue many times. You only get one email even if you are in multiple email lists and you can reply to all. Thus, the docking of 2 stars because communication is sort of the purpose of an email system and this flaw BREAKS DOWN communication between email lists.ĮVERY OTHER MAIL SYSTEM does not behave this way. So if you have different departments with their own email lists and need to communicate with select lists at a time forget about it, it's not happening. A minor annoyance but still annoying nonetheless, especially for already confused end users.Ģ) If I try to reply all to one of the lists I will only be sending an email to one list, because the other list is in the other email that I received! The emails are processed separately, one at a time.ģ) I will never know that an email has been sent to anyone in list 3 because I am not in list 3 and did not receive a duplicate email for that list! And if the people in list 3 are not in lists 1 and 2 they will never know that those lists received the email either! Now let's say that somebody sent an email to all 3 of these lists, here are the problems that arise due to poor design:ġ) If I am in list 1 and list 2 I will get 2 emails, one for each list. Let's make a hypothetical set of 3 lists called list 1, list 2 and list 3.
When you send an email to multiple email lists it will process one email per list. There is only ONE BAD THING I have to say about it, but it is really a HUGE thing. We have 1150 users and are very happy with the overall system. It seems like every tech support guy knows just about everything about the system. The tech support is leaps and bounds over other tech support I have used. It is reliable, has a lot of great options and features and is very intuitive. This may not pertain to you or it may save you some wasted time/money. READ THIS IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING MDAEMON. Integration with Outlook is less complete than with Exchange, and won't always satisfy the Microsoft-worshippers who expect all of the more obscure features to be there. No problem with a couple of enterprise grade SSDs though. The file based storage means that large mailbox access does get a mite slow on mechanical disks.
Some clients use the webmail server as their main email platform, in which case everything is on the server, all that's needed on the client is a browser. Has most of the collaboration features of Exchange including shared calendars, tasks, notes, etc. Does not require active directory, but can be run on a DC and use its account authentication. Settings and data are in files rather than a database, which makes for greater transparency.Įasy setup, easy migration to another server. Includes as standard many features that are expensive add-ons for Exchange. Much more flexible than Exchange, and will work with any standard SMTP account. Rarely gives trouble, and problems are mostly easy to diagnose. Been installing this since the late 90's, and for the IT guy it's a breath of fresh air compared to the headaches that Exchange gives.
