Eh? They want instant mailing, reliability and little to do with it. And
then _Exchange_ came out on top! What did you compare it with, X400 over
uucp?
IMHO a Unix based MTA such as sendmail or the other alternatives along
with IMAP and a client (Eudora or even Outlook) would easily meet this
need at NO cost and would be a hell of a lot easier to manage.
I must be missing something.
