To all
I am looking to replace an existing Exchange server with a QMT box. Once
question that has arisen is an Exchange feature to "send mail on behalf of".
That is the ability to have management of another person's mailbox, while
they on holidays, or similar, and be able to respond to their mail with a
notification that you are sending mail "on behalf of".
It there a similar feature in QMT?
Cheers

I don't know of a QMT (server) feature such as that. Someone else might
know better than me about this though.
Off the top of my head, I think in order to achieve this sort of thing
that I'd simply define the other person's account as an additional
account in the manager's client program (Outlook presumably, but could
be TBird or most any client). The simply define the "from" contents in
that account to reflect that it's actually coming from someone else "on
behalf of".
Speaking of Outlook, you should be aware that it behaves a little
differently with IMAP servers than with Exchange. Deleted items appear a
little differently, and also the way messages are stored in the pst file
varies between O'03 and O'07. I would definitely do some testing to see
what it's like before committing to a conversion.
Also, I'm curious to know how you plan to deal with other features of
exchange, such as shared calendars and contacts. Of course, I'd like to
see QMT displace as many Exchange servers as possible in the field. Not
that I'm prejudiced or anything. ;)
