I hit an intriguing problem as I needed to relay selected mailboxes rather than the whole domain. I assume that you have already noticed that everything needs to happen on the same domain.

Recently I came across Omeka – an Open Source web-publishing platform designed to share collections or digital archives. I was surprised by the ease of installation, attractive design and flexibility.
Final Version of Kolab Groupware 3.0 was released two weeks ago. It is a complete groupware suite that includes modules such as Mail, Contacts, Calendar and Tasks. Its strong advantage is support for synchronization of mobile devices.
