I've been using IMP at my school -- it works well, its 
open source and runs on Linux.  It is very stable.  (I 
never got the MySQL stuff to work -- but I didn't try 
hard.  There are lots of people on this list though who 
could help you with that part. 

I am using version 2.0.10.  Soon they will release an new 
improved edition.  Keep your eye out for it.  Check it 
out at <http://www.horde.org/imp>
