PostgreSQL and MySQL are popular, capable alternatives to SQL Server. You could also use Oracle or DB2. If Exchange is just being used as a mail server, I believe it is easy to replace with other Sendmail, PostFix, Exim, or whatever. Otherwise, I'm not sure what you'd use -- I don't know what Exchange does, frankly, so I'm not in a position to offer an informed opinion. Kurt -- You will be Told about it Tomorrow.
