None of those thing look low/no cost - but they do look very very nice.
I dont wanna hi jack, but if of you knowledgable folks know - what is a
good all in one, MTA/IMAP/webmail server that will provide the obvious
MTA features, IMAP and webmail, but if a user can be found in the access
map (generated via perl from the active directory) but hasnt previously
recieved mail, a new user, the server will check they exist, create
approriate files, permissions and deliver the mail?

I have most of this thrown together with courier and postfix - but i
failt to understand some basic bits, so i need an allin one solution.
Hope some one can help, email is fine...
