Hi,

I'm rather new on this list, so first of all: Hello all and thanks to
everyone who is contributing to this list.

We use Exchange 5.5 for internal e-Mail and groupware and a Linux
based mailhub for external traffic, basically for two reasons:

- Virus Scanning at the border of our net (AMaViS in conjunction with
a command line scanner is the best AV product I have ever seen)
- Feeding Mailing Lists

So if you have the necessary Linux & sendmail (or qmail, postfix or
whatever you like) skills then I would do it like that. You gain some
security and a real powerful MTA at the border of your net.

Exporting and reimporting should not be a problem. You can export it
as .txt or .csv and then reformat it according to the needs of your
listserver and reimport it.

Please do not misunderstand me: Exchange _is_ a great product, we use
it for five years and it has proven to meet our needs and even more.
But I like it better to have Exchange inside the LAN and a dedicated
MTA on the gateway. I hope I'm not causing a flamewar :-)

best regards

reto inversini
