PHP is not an SMTP server. You will have to be specific about which features you are trying to emulate. Perhaps you mean some form of Web Mail or Calendaring for which there are several examples. However, if you want mail clients to contact this system, PHP is not your answer, though there are several in the open source world which come close to replicating most of the Exchange functions. There are several mail servers (SMTP) such as sendmail, postfix, exim, and qmail which can receive email for a domain or send out email. When you want to let users connect with mail client apps you will need either a POP3 or IMAP server. Web mail (ie SquirrelMail in PHP) is another aspect of mail. Where people run into problems is when the calendaring portion of Exchange is brought into the mix. To my way of looking, a calendar should not be part of the email system. Obviously, I am in the minority on this considering the widespread use of Outlook (not Outlook Express I believe) in businesses. This normally works with MS Exchange. SuSE Professional is a Linux distribution where they have made a lot of effort to replace Exchange servers and provide similar functionality. You might begin looking at that. James _____ James D.
