IIS does have it but when I tried using it for some reason it didn't want to work, plus IIS messes up my apache sometimes. I'm kinda staying away from windows stuff other than the OS.

from what I'm seeing it costs $40? or did you find a link for a free version?

I run a small cluster of about 5 linux machines with Qmail and courier. Very nice. Both are free, of course.

If you are thinking of outsourcing your email, feel free to drop us a line - we are having a hosting blowout atm.
I once tried installing Linux on one of my other computers and for some reason it didn't want to install I think it was video card issues. I have somewhere one of the more recent versions of Linux I just don't have another computer to test an install and config on. I would like to do so soon though.

Thanks for the offer on the outsourcing, I think I'll pass for now. Too expensive for now. Maybe if I get more business in the future.
