My question was:

   Hello dear alpha-osf-managers,

   is there somebody who can offer a recommendation for a mail server
   software based on Digital UNIX?

   We are one of the few Digital customers still using Mailworks,
   which is a fine piece of software, but obviously there will be no
   further development on the side of Digital.

   Indeed, Mailworks was sold to I/G OpenWare (see details at
   http://www.iga.com/press/MailOne/mwkssrvr.htm) and maybe their
   refurbished mailing software MailOne will be a option for us.

   As there seem to be no plans to port Notes to Digital UNIX (nor any
   plans to port Microsoft Exchange server to UNIX :-), perhaps the
   free software community has to offer a fine Web-based,
   standards-oriented mail server software?

There were numerous replies, thank you all!

Five out of ten recommended Innosoft's PMDF (see
http://www.innosoft.com), which is a multi-featured, multiplatform
E-mail server software, especially praised for its reliability and
supreme support, while somewhat pricy.

The other alternatives offered are (alphabetically)

-Communigate Pro from Stalker (http://www.stalker.com)
-Netscape product suite
-Oracle Office
-Post.Office family from Software.com (http://www.software.com)

Thanks again,
