There has been more than enough discussion about options for replacing Exchange as just a mail server. But I'll trow my suggestion in too of course, regardless! ;-} Colo Hosting is so cheap these days, if mail is all you want, I'd recommend considering just spending the $60-$100/year and let someone else manage your mail server. I use site5.com and am very happy with them. Unlimited email addresses, webmail & POP, plenty of bandwidth, unlimited mailing lists, forwarders, autoresponders, etc. If your really looking for a replacement to Exhange and all or most of it's services I'd recommend looking into SuSE's (now Novell's) OpenExchange server. http://www.novell.com/products/openexchange/ Getting the full product may be more money than they want to spend, but it's a full Linux replacement. Actually, IIRC, it offers even more than MS Exchange; I have no direct experience to compare ease of maintenance/use unfortunately. SuSE offered extremely deep discounts for educational/non-profit licenses, not sure if Novell does. There is also an open source product which IIRC started as an earlier version of SuSE's OpenExchange and was open sourced after Novell bought SuSE and started forking that version, I assume to have it start working with Novell's other server/collaboration tools. http://mirror.open-xchange.org/ox/EN/community/ HTH -- Sean Quinlan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> gpg public-key http://grendels-den.org/sean.asc "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace.
