Yes, the price is a bit steep, even with a educational discount for a school it's still a fair chunk of money. At the time, we bought it, we wanted to run it on OSX1 (Rhapsody) and it was literally the only choice. But having said that, in retrospect it's the best thing ninewire ever bought. It just works. So, when I had to propose something for the school, it was a no-brainer. And I'd recommend it to anybody. Even if you have to scrape change to be able to afford it at first, it will free up your life :) And, they've had very good support, there is constant development, new releases every few weeks, They fix bugs immediately. They have never charged us for an upgrade. And the software Licence runs on any platform so you can move from NT to Unix to OSX to Linux whenever you want. And it does just about everything. I hear EIMS is pretty good too though :) And to get back OT, I do think SIMS is a better choice than exchange. IT doesn't have the same feature set, but it doesn't have the problems either. And if all you want is a solid MTA SIMS is great too. We use it on our webservers and our secondaries. ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
