That is what I have been running into.  Just to clarify, the MS stuff I talked about first was as an example.  I will not use or support an MS box as a server willingly.  I want to have their fluffy functionality though.   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Garrett P.

If you have an Exchange server in your organization, you can take advantage of it's IMAP functionality by using something like SquirrelMail. However, the Calendaring portion of Exchange is proprietary to Microsoft and I have no idea how you might go about replacing that.   Linux is still a ways out on having a competitive groupware product against Microsoft's Exchange, or IBM's Lotus Notes or the "never a dull moment" Novell GroupWise.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Shepherd Sent: Tuesday, March 09, 2004 11:08 AM To: 'Reno Linux Users Group' Subject: [RLUG] (no subject) Hi all,   I am looking for a couple of solutions and rather than think for myself I’d rather just be given the right answer by the tome of knowledge that is RLUG and be done with it.   1.      I need a resident server anti-virus package for file and mail.  If it can do anti-spam too all the better.  I have looked at Panda, RAV, Sophos and to be honest I just don’t care.  Of course auto-update and all that is good too. 2.      If I were to spend $600 for a copy of Microsoft Windows 2003 Sever Small Business Edition I would have access to Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA).  Despite all the icky things listed on the last sentence I do like the idea of OWA.  Linux has things like PHPGroupware and again, I just want the right answer here.  It should have a web interface (duh), send/receive mail (I will likely set the server up as IMAP to make it easier) perform calendaring for individuals and organization wide and the best thing in the world would be if it could talk to existing MS desktops to get Outlook contact and schedule data.   Thanks guys, I appreciate all your input.   Rick Shepherd Synux Technologies [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.synux.com 775-337-1466
