 Post.Office is a VERY nice program, and not too expensive - it
depends how you look at it.

 Post.Office has nice administrative tools over the web, and also
provides very nice utilities for users, via the web.  It is very easy
to install, and their support staff is always inviting and welcome to
accept any suggestions you have to offer.

 However, before you can justify paying for a new mail daemon, I
suggest you look into doing what you want to do in another way - using
sendmail. There are various sendmail faqs/howtos and even the
bsdi-users mailing list (which SHOULD be a digest, but anyway) that
can help you along.

 FYI: Post.Office has a demo. Try it, it works great, and it really
appealed to me.
