Subject: [OS2Wireless] Secure email (was: Help - need crash course...)

I'm on a fence about which platform to use. On OS/2, I've been seriously 
considering moving to CommuniGate Pro, which does support both of these. 
Abstracted from Stalker Software's feature list:

    * Mailing List manager
      <http://www.stalker.com/CommuniGatePro/LIST.html> with automatic
      bounce processing and a Web interface to list archives.
    * Secure Mail <http://www.stalker.com/CommuniGatePro/WebSMIME.html>
      (S/MIME) WebMail implementation (encryption/decryption, digital
      signing, signature verification).
    * Secure Authentication (SASL
      <http://www.stalker.com/CommuniGatePro/Security.html#SASL>) and
      Secure Transfer (SSL/TLS
      <http://www.stalker.com/CommuniGatePro/Security.html#TLS>) for
      SMTP, IMAP, POP, HTTP, LDAP, ACAP, PWD and Administration sessions.

However, recent server events have made me start thinking just as 
seriously about migrating services to my NetWare 6 server, and 
implementing Novell's NetMail. In addition, I'm considering moving my 
Apache-hosted websites to my NetWare 6 box, due to some stack overflow 
issues the resolution(s) to which may yet be some time in coming. 
(Apache 2.x's ThreadStackSize parameter has been fully implemented under 
NetWare, but not yet functional under OS/2; as a result, most of my PHP 
apps tend to cause Apache to choke on a fairly regular basis, and only a 
kludge to restart the service keeps things running as smoothly as they do.)

Pricewise, Novell's offering would be considerably more expensive than 
CommuniGate Pro for the number of accounts we now host (around 200 or 
so). Either way, though, I'll probably make the move this spring.
