HP OpenMail is not free software. This brings up an
interesting dilemma: should I recommend a
closed-source, commerical mail server that costs $ and
runs on Linux, in order to replace M$ Exchange running
on M$ 2000?

The site http://www.openmail.com/cyc/om/00/ says that
Samsung SDS will be developing and selling OpenMail
based software, but now I have to trust Samsung.
Samsung is a new player in the software industry, so
my trust is even less than if HP still supported it. I
might have recommended OpenMail if HP still had it.

As it stands now, I would rather replace M$ Exchange
with a collection of free software. At least then, I
could have some control over the further use and
implementation of the solution.
