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 ----- Original Message ----- From: "david burrows" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "MS-Exchange Admin Issues" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, April 19, 2002 3:35 PM Subject: Listserve(s) for Exchange -- - vs. Linux > I need to set up a few small listserve(s) for our non-profit.
