Is it possbile to set up SmarterMail on a droplet ?

Posted on February 19, 2014

Hello guys,

I have a client that is insistent on retaining their current email application, SmarterMail, but the problem is the application requirements:

SmarterMail was desgined to coexist with multiple applications on the same server based on the following minimum requirements: Windows XP*, Windows Vista*, Windows Server 2003 or higher SmarterMail Web server included with product Microsoft .NET 4.0 Framework

However, SmarterTools recommends the following requirements for maximum efficiency: Windows Server 2003 or higher Microsoft IIS 7.0** Microsoft .NET 4.0 Framework

I know your servers run on non Windows based OS’s, I am reluctant to switch or find an alternative provider as I have dealt with a number of hosts and I am really happy with your service.

Please do let me know, or of my possible alternatives.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you.

It seems that SmarterMail only runs on Windows and there’s no option other than looking for a Windows Cloud Hosting provider.

Thanks Ricardo. <br> <br>Guess I have no alternative.
