Top 17 reasons for moving to SurgeMail.

There are many reasons you will want something better easier to use and more robust than the standard mail server supplied with your operating system, here are the main ones we hear from SurgeMail users.

1. Easy configuration - Vastly easier and quicker to install and configure, no scripting, running makefiles or editing strange config files is needed. Binaries are provided and the automatic install process will have the software installed and running in 2 minutes.
2. Ease of administration - Cuts administration time dramatically. SurgeMail Web adiministration interface lets you easily create domains, add users and set any spam virus or other option in seconds.
3. Spam Blocking - Effectively gets rid of spam. SurgeMail includes powerful trainable filters, smart rules for recognizing spam and friend confirmations to only allow valid mail through. Spam options are configurable per user. SPF gets rid od most spam early
4. Virus Blocking - The best protection available from virus attacks. Efficient and affordable virus scanning with live updates.
5. User self management - Users can manager their own account without bothering the administrator. Users can change passwords, set holiday messages, set forwarding etc...
6. Domain administrators - Easy administration delegation, domain administrators can create users (within limits), and control all user settable options.
7. Security - SurgeMail is immune to any of the standard sendmail security exploits. Unlike sendmail which was designed before security on the internet was an issue, and has had dozens of known public security exploits SurgeMail has been designed to be bullet proof from the ground up.
8. Unique Mirror/Replication system - Create a fullly redundant mail system, where no disk or machine failure can take out your mail system. Either system can fail and users can continue accessing their mail on the mirror system. When the faulty system is repaired and comes online SurgeMail will resync the systems automatically.
9. Interface to any user database (text, passwd, OBDC, MySQL, LDAP, ...) or use the free and simple built in user database that is intended to handle millions of users.
10. Integrated WebMail - Users can access their mail safely and securely from any computer.
11. Secure SSL/TLS protocol - Real password security. Without SSL/TLS passwords can be seen by anyone with a packet sniffer on your network, making a joke of most security.
12. Fast and Efficient - Handles the largest user loads with ease. SurgeMail's efficient threading design and prudent use of disk, CPU and memory resources results in very low system utilisation and high throughput.
13. Mailing lists - Built in mailing list server. SurgeMail comes with a fully functional list server, users can subscribe and manage their mailing lists without admin intervention.
14. Virtual domains - Easy to run and manage thousands of domains. Virtual domains are not a 'tack on' as with many older mail systems.
15. Scaleability - Run a single systems with over 100,000 users. Or scale using multiple systems to handle any load.
16. Simple 3 minute installation.
17. Easy to upgrade from sendmail - or other MTA's qmail, postfix, exim, courier etc, using the transition settings in SurgeMail you can easily migrate users slowly to a new system. In this mode new users can start using the new system one at a time. This is also ideal for testing without disrupting existing users.
