Hi,
I have purchased a VPS and need a mailserver for that server, but I
don't know which one I should choose. My requirements is
- the mail server should be able to handle >8 domains with approx. 10
mail boxes each
- push mail to Windows Mobile phones

Calendar sharing would be nice to have but not required.

Any suggestions?

That seems backwards. Your operational needs should have been the basis
for deciding on what mail software you needed to run and hence what sort
of underlying platform you needed to buy.

I assume that VPS = "Virtual Private Server" and so means some sort of
hosted logical partition that appears to you as your very own machine.
Unfortunately, that doesn't say enough about what you've bought for
anyone to reasonably suggest what you might do with it. A clue as to
what OS it is running would be a staring point.

Find a more relevant newsgroup?

This one is for discussion of Sendmail, a Unix MTA. Sendmail might be
usable as a part of the solution you're looking for, but for what it can
do as part of a total mail system there are at least 3 reasonable free
choices for Unix and a couple of commercial ones. As far as I know, none
of those can push mail to Windows Mobile phones directly. Microsoft has
made the ability to push mail to their phones a differentiator for
Exchange, and unless there's been a huge advance recently that I've
missed, you really cannot reliably push mail to a stock Windows Mobile
phone without Exchange.

The caveat to that: the proprietary nature of the Windows Mobile world
has led to me paying rather little attention to it. What I know of it is
based on hearing horror stories from other admins and users rather like
myself who mostly work with open systems.
