Do you mean the terminal server. It most definitely is not VNC.

How so. We run IMAP on our server, and though I use procmail rules 
myself (actually, so does everyone else to get winpopup notifications), 
others have rules in Mozilla or so, which work just fine with LDAP. 
Maybe your mail client just wasn't built for LDAP (I can't bear anything 
but mozilla, they're all too slow at IMAP).

[bgmilne@bgmilne bgmilne]$ urpmq tmda perl-razor spam
The following packages contain spam: sweep spamassassin spampl
[bgmilne@bgmilne bgmilne]$ urpmq tmda
tmda
[bgmilne@bgmilne bgmilne]$ urpmq razor
perl-Razor-Agent

What's the problem?

Btw, the only problem with a linux box as a replacement for exchange is 
calendaring.
