How about security? Sendmail's track record isn't great, but it's better than MS's. And when the worms/virii hit, i've found it pretty convenient when the server itself isn't also infected and pushing the worm down to your clients. > Seriously though, I did not realize they were selling exchange so > cheap.

I wouldn't be surprised if MS started bundling Exchange/100-user license with Windows server for free. That is how they normally deal with competing products they can't otherwise beat. ray
