I believe you think of calender functionality. This is not part of the smtp protocol, but just a microsoft addition to exchange. You can accomplish calenders in many other ways. Such as plugins on the client, confluence's calender plugin, google apps and a number of other online tools etc. You could also install a dummy exchange server just for that calender nonsense (what happened with good old paper agendas?). Anyways, there is no good reason to use exchange, also besides the initial $8000 or so you need to pay a license fee per account. > The only alternative solution I can think of is horde groupware > (http://www.horde.org/webmail/), but to make this beast work, you need I use squirrelmail which works great. Quite a few large ISPs use it too, in one form or another, such as webmail.xs4all.nl. You may also like to look into "zimbra" for the "bells and wistels". > As I stated earlier, people want more and more from their companys' mail > server. If they want more then provide it through different means and protocols, don't bastardise smtp. What's next, streaming video through smtp? Games? Just keep it plain and simple in this regard. SMTP is difficult enough as it is.
