      I've been using lotus domino/notes from release 4.11 and have no
problem with that. The problem is that lack on spam detection... only have
rbl and limited blacklist system (Not sure for release 7), that why I use
MailScanner.
But, if you only want to use emails, don't use lotus/domino. Just too much
for that.
