This is interesting: Novell is going to release their Netmail product as Open Source under the name Hula Server. Primary target is Linux, while Windows, Mac OS/X and Netware will follow later.
Hula is a mail (SMTP, POP3, IMAP) and a calendar server, with an integrated listserver and anti-virus capabilities. More features here (in progress).
Since they promise carrier grade performance (serving 50.000 concurrent connected users (out of defined 200.000) on a US$4000 server does not sound too bad…) and the webinterface looks very good, I think I’ll switch. Having good things for free can never harm ones business.
