Good evening, The OpenChange project team is proud to announce the release of OpenChange 2.3 VULCAN.
This major release provides all latest fixes and builds against Samba 4.1.18. 1. Drop-in Compatibility for Microsoft Exchange ============================= The OpenChange team has created the first and only compatible Free Software implementation of Microsoft's Exchange protocols used by Microsoft Outlook and compatible clients. OpenChange runs as a service on top of Samba 4.0 Active Directory compatible server and provides Exchange connectivity to all MAPI compatible clients. The immediate benefit of OpenChange server is: **No plugin required for Microsoft Outlook** Another key feature of OpenChange lies in its capability to plug into existing infrastructure and makes use of existing reliable services. OpenChange makes use of your existing messaging server to transmit (Postfix, Exim4) and deliver (Cyrus SASL or Dovecot) emails. Regarding common groupware objects such as tasks, appointments and notes, they are stored in your database server (PostgreSQL, MySQL). OpenChange server also provides support for Outlook Anywhere, formely known as RPC over HTTP.
