My limited experience in campus messaging solutions has a faculty staff that would benefit from the collaborative features of Exchange with students that end up using POP as their email access.
Perhaps a Linux mail solution is in order for the students with an Exchange Server for the faculty?

And yeah, we agree that we need to have a consistent platform and we are at the crossroad whether we ditch all our Novell servers and take the plunge with Uncle BillG or .... ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
