I agree. For me the choice is very simple. Scalix is written in C and Zimbra in Java. I tried Zarafa and got it work. Sorry I forgot to mention that. That is another alternative too. It is also written in C. But once again, it involves connectors. I like Zarafa best. Though once OpenChange matures all this will become irrelevant and it will kill Zarafa's commercial advantage I think. Moreover Zimbra is more of a heavyweight mail solution that is popular and I wonder why. -Girish -- Gayatri Hitech web: http://gayatri-hitech.com SpamCheetah Spam filter: http://spam-cheetah.com _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [email protected] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
