Sendmail mobile message server (SMMS)
Sendmail's webmail program, commercial only. Scales HUGE (aimed at hotmail sized mail). Model is a back end, which keeps threads open to the IMAP server and front end(s) which speak HTTP/HTML to the user. Fails over if you have more than one front/back end. It means that small, you run it on one box; large you can run (say) 5 backends and 100 front ends (to handle the connections from the users which use up the TCP sockets) and handle a 100k to 1 million concurrent users.
