However, we wanted to provide benchmark results and hard figures to demonstrate our outstanding performance level and give a baseline about what to expect in simple cases.
#Ejabberd sucks free#
2 web interface and instant messaging servers clustered facing the internet, 1 Sequoia server and 2 MySQL servers on the back end all running on CentOS (Which is free as you know) It cost me about $2500 total.From our experience, we all get the idea that ejabberd has massive scalability. Shoot I have 7000 users on 5 bottom basement gateway “PC” servers.
#Ejabberd sucks 64 Bit#
On top of that the 64 BIT issue is a mess! Now you have to get the full 64 BIT version of Windows, you have to get 64 Bit hardware to run Exchange 2007. MS knows that most admins would never let a single mail box get that big and that is how they avoid that issue (They don’t care that most people copy their mail down to local PST files which get corrupted all the time!) Also the other big problem with Exchange having PST files on the server side is no single mail box can get over 1.5 GB with out corruption problems. This is something that you can’t do with Exchange. Like with the product that I sell (Desknow) using an open source application called Sequoia I can add SQL servers on the fly and give the mail server load balancing, redundancy etc. Why can’t developers simply build on basics and then after that provide their solutions for underlaying structure beats me. With distro of their choice I could live, with for example mail server of their choice, I can’t.Īnd the fact that you find just what you’re looking for, but it doesn’t work as you would need pisses me off too. It’s quite infuriating to have to reccomend that people stay with MS because of Exchange.īut even larger problem is they demand their own choice of servers. But vpopmail meant for me the same thing as sliced bread meant for humanity, so I can’t live without.Ĭurrently, everything I’ve seen on the market either refuses to use existing infrastructure (Mail, LDAP or Kerberos) or demands the use of a particular distro. I’m only sorry, I don’t use setups w/o vpopmail, otherwise everything would already work for me. But now I’m trying to integrate complete setup + vpopmail with Fedora-DS. Use QMail+LDAP, CourierIMAP, Binary Connector and webmail of choice. You can do a little work and you get what you ask for. >I>I wonder if the F/OSS (or just plain compatible with Linux) world will come up with a Exchange equivilent any time soon that intergrates into my existing directory (OpenLDAP/Kerberos) services. If you have any other questions, I am a beta tester, bug tester and reseller of this product. The current set up you have can be used, it would slow you mail down some, but our server could pull all mail down from your current set up to the desknow server for users to access. (And we have an oulook like plug in for Blackberry that is in beta test stage)
#Ejabberd sucks Pc#
On the web side we do have a pocket PC interface also that works pretty well with phones, palm, Treo etc. Also we have a plugin for Outlook to use calendars etc. You can also use Thunderbird or any other IMAP client. You can use the web interface with any OS. Yes you can connect to Kerberos to use for authentication. Is it also possible to plug into my existing (and working!) Exim/Courier based setup, or would I need to scrap everything?”ġ. “Sounds useful… but doesn’t it support generic (MIT) Kerberos? And will it work with my bewildering array of clients (Linux, Windows, Mac, Pocket PC, Palm, Treo, and Web)? I’m installing it at the moment, I’ll see how it turns out). LDAP and Kerberos were made to fix these problems, and nobody seems to want to use them. Most of the apps listed on the kontact page have this problem, except for Novell GroupWise which will only run on SuSE. Speaking as a Sys-admin, I’m exceedingly adverse to maintaining vast lists of users and passwords in each application. From an admin point of view, many of the open replacements require you to maintain another set of accounts. And while that’s a really bad reason (Goodness knows how many times I’ve railed against the developers here for similar thinking), but that’s how many orginizations will see it.
#Ejabberd sucks software#
Meaning that the architecture of the software is pathetic but the client software sucks somewhat less.īut it works. Even the most jaded Microsofties recognize that Exchange is a shiny penny balanced on a turd.
