This is my first post so please be gentle.

I would like to get some opinions on the Best Mailserver in the Universe.
Is there a more appropriate list for this question?

I have looked at Communigate Pro, IMAIL, and others.

I am interested in integrated solution that can scale to handle 500k
accounts

Any experience good / bad would be great.
None of the Windows mail servers listed above or the others such as Mailsite, MDaemon, Merak, etc. are capable of more than 10-20k active users. Forget about 500k with any you have listed. If you want a solid mail server which WILL handle 500k users and will run on Windows and most *nix platforms, look at Surgemail from http://www.netwinsite.com It is incredibly scalable and VERY fast. It uses a spam assassin-like filter which is written in C so it is at least 20-100 times faster than spam assassin and 95% as effective. It includes support for AVAST anti-virus and the webmail program is powerful, fast, and includes support for PGP. It is an AWESOME product and the support and developers are top notch too. I don't have any vested interest in the company, but I am a very happy customer. (They also make DNews which many people here are probably familiar with)
