OK, but this has nothing to do with mandrake's drake tools. The drake tools are there for one purpose: to make configuration of the local machine easy for the desktop Mandrake user. They have nothing to do with providing services for a remote client. If you want to, you could probably write such a package in PHP or Perl or something, release it under the GPL, and Mandrake could have it in the distribution; however, they definitely have better things to do than to develop such a program. Also, I believe the main problem with replacing Exchange is calendaring, not mail filtering. Most businesses can live without a mail filter, but not without a calendar. -- -- Igor
