What Exchange does, and what its supposed to do are up for wild speculation. Exchange is supposed to send/receive mail (as all of the MTA's you mentioned do quite well). Its also suppposed to allow for collaboration on all the other bloated features that M$-Outlook has (calenders etc). Now, if no one cares about those features, or doesn't mind getting them from a different source (Linux has alot of nifty calender tools, and other assorted collaborative tools) then ditching Exchange is easy. If everyone wants to continue to use Outlook for calenders and the like, then you'll prolly need to look into something like Volution or HP's UnixMail (i think that's what they called it). -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J Friedman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux Step-by-step http://netllama.ipfox.com _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
