Please advise on scriptable email server


  • Subject: Please advise on scriptable email server

We're still working with one email computer at the office, running Claris
Emailer. Surrounding this are a number of applescripts for various
automatic stuff, such as sending out our mailing list and mainting its
addresses, and periodically archiving all mail in a filemaker database.

Problem is, one email computer doesn't cut it anymore. So I'm starting to
look for an email server. What we need is:

- Something that works like a central database, ie people can access and
use it from different computers.

- No individual accounts for users, just the one account that's
accessible from everywhere.

- All messages are always stored in the host and remain there; email
clients are strictly browsers that don't store anything in their own
client computers.

- Must run on OS9, but an option for OSX would be a bonus.

- No HTML mail, sucking text out of HTML messages is a bonus though.
(Claris Emailer stores HTML mail in attachments, which is awkward and the
only complaint I have about its fuctionality).

- The usual, such as labeling, filtering.

- And of course: good applescript support.

(The 'no individual accounts' is because of the large number of
part-timers we have; everyone needs to be able to access all mail.)

I don't have a clue about email servers yet, so if anyone has a good tip
to solve our problem, I'd love to hear about it!

Thanks,
Wim
