Re: email solutions for Canadians

I'm the MS nerd here so no, I don't run mailman<x>. I either produce my own
binaries literally reimplenting things with .NET, or run with smaller
purpose driven servers like what Rebex publishes, and then perform dev
magic to scale. Gave up on the huge WAMP stacks and such awhile ago, nobody
vets them. ASP gives me nightmares, lol

More IETF info?
