Except they won't have the globe icon in the GAL when they have a regular mailbox. Maybe they like being /special/...

Had you specified the version you're running I would have used the proper term. If a Unix user doesn't use the mailbox, then just give them a custom recipient. There's no point in them having mailboxes they won't be using.

I'm not sure I'd really compare Sendmail & Exchange. I'd say Sendmail is an MTA and Exchange is a groupware platform. The original issue was procmail. I'm not familiar with Ed's suggestion: "configure mail-enabled users." What we ended up doing for the few that wanted (a) to use procmail or (b) to be able to use mailboxes mounted off a UNIX filesystem was: 1. Create a mailbox for everyone. 2. Create an custom recipient (Internet E-Mail) user@unixmailserver 3. Set mail to be delivered to both mailbox & custom recipient The users are then responsible for creating a rule in Outlook which deletes all E-Mails of type "message" (moves to deleted items, set deleted items to get flushed every night). Messages left in inbox are meeting requests, etc, which must be handled using Outlook. They know they have to go to outlook to do it becasue they receive a text-type meeting request in their unix account. It seems to satisfy the unix folks. But if you've got a huge organization, this may not be administratively practical... -Yanek. > To Samir, the original poster, you might also look at Slipstick.com > and see if any of the solutions there will help.
