In fact, it might even make it easier, since, instead of trying to integrate an existing foreign Exchange system into their existing one, they could simply migrate the emails and users into their existing systemHaving worked for a company on Exchange, that got bought out by a company on Notes, that then got bought out by a bigger fish on Exchange I can say that it is a very valid question to ask during the due diligence activities prior to M&A's taking place!!!Meaning? I didn't say it was an invalid question to ask...You disagree with my opinion that being on open source software (that uses a simple IMAP server like dovecot) for mail access would actually probably be *easier* to merge into their existing Exchange ecosystem than an existing foreign Exchange Server setup?
I'm not disagreeing with you at all??? Are you looking for an argument?? -- Regards, Giles Coochey, CCNP, CCNA, CCNAS NetSecSpec Ltd +44 (0) 8444 780677 +44 (0) 7983 877438 http://www.coochey.net http://www.netsecspec.co.uk gi...@coochey.net
