I'm also wondering what's wrong with mdaemon. Used it for years and it's been nothing but stable.

I also don't see what's odd about checking if mails are going in and out as part of the admin's responsibilities. Wouldn't the same apply whatever mail server was in use?

Hey @David, am about to post some tough realities and so an apology in advance if it offends anyone :
 
- Though I've never used Mdaemon, what is wrong with using it?
 
- Postfix and the rest. We all know they are there, have used them. I can send you 10s of links of companies on the net who have developed , yes the correct word is developed, mail server solutions on these. These solutions are very simple and as easy to use as Mdaemon, I assume. However, though the code libraries are open to editing and customizing, has any kenyan done one and produced one?  Where is this product and how much does it cost? After all, I just discovered that code, template re-use with some little editing and labelling it as development/coding is a full time hobby/commercial take..... ( am trying so hard not to be cross, where did originality go? I have seen many occasions of govt sites being criticised but no one ever told them they all they had to do was download free.rar files or goto java.com, as they themselves do and eg and make it look or feel better ).

No. 9 .... Mdaemon server is running (emails are going in and out normally)

Surely you don't have to include this in a JD not unless there's a
process failure, what in the world are they doing with M-daemon? Who
uses nowadays? A linux-based exim or postfix can solve this. If any
skunk takes up this job you know what to do ;-)
