Antivirus Software...interesting point. In this case the email goes though a gateway appliance that takes care of all that, but it is a Windows system and that demands an A/V solution just for the box anyway if not for email. I can't see where they would fault you for running that. Microsoft's statements are too vague to say if we can or can't run Imail on their web edition. The only thing that would be gained that I can see running it on Standard Edition would be AD intergration, which this customer won't be using (small hosting outfit).

Imail is a web based application; it doesn't say you can only run web pages. Which brings up another point is the Antivirus software you need to run on the same box a web based application? Me thinks not. Regards David Moore [EMAIL PROTECTED] J.P.

I'd say > yes, but that seems open to interpretation. The Microsoft website is pretty clear: Windows Server 2003 Web Edition, can be used solely to deploy Web pages, Web sites, Web applications, and Web services. Customers can use Windows Server 2003 Web Edition, to install the following: . Web server software; for example, IIS. . Web availability management software; for example, Microsoft Application Center. Installations of non-Web serving applications are prohibited. ASP.NET-based applications that include code written in third-party programming languages can include that programming language's runtime components. For non-Web serving applications, you should consider Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition. David Gregg -- mxGuard for IMail The no-nonsense antispam and antivirus solution.
