I received 15 replies; all recommending the product:

I have been using it without much problem since March.
The interface is great.
Errors are logged and some are sent to me for processing
via email to redirect.
Very good product.

We have more than 8,000 users in our Post.Office box. And our operation
is up and running with no problems. We are ISP, and all our clients are
in the Post.Office, but we use the NT version. I sure that the Unix
version have the same features than the NT.

We've been using it on NT for about 18 months. We have 1000 users
defined, and it NEVER misses a beat, even when users do 40MB file
transfers through it. I consider it an excellent package, and
Software.com have been very professional in supporting us. (We are in
Cape Town, South Africa.) Their recent upgrade was VERY smooth. Just a
pity they don't support APOP :-(
Their NT version of BIND is also very good.
