Two years ago when my employer was looking for a better solution to handle dedicated (secured) e-mail delivery of sensitive personal information from our internal software and our internet applications, I was happy to recommend MDaemon for the job. Again MDaemon proved up to the task at hand and actually outperformed the MS Exchange Server that was originally handling the job.

While there are many bigger companies producing software, none are better than Alt-N and their crew.
